MULLAPERIYAR DAM A NIGHTMARE TO KERALA


 






Mullaperiyar  is a Gravity Dam on the Periyar River  is located  2,889 ft (881 m)  above sea level on the Western Ghats in Thekkadi, Idukki District of Kerala.. It was constructed in 1895 by the British Government,  On 29 October 1886, a lease   for 999 years was made with Tamil nadu and   the agreement was renewed in 1970 by  C Achutha Menon  Kerala Chief Minister. Regarding Kerala's dam safety law, in September 2009, the Ministry of Environment and Forests of Government of India granted environmental clearance to Kerala for conducting survey for new dam downstream. Tamil Nadu approached Supreme Court for a stay order against the clearance; however, the plea was rejected. Consequently, the survey was started in  2009.
STILL NO PROGRESS WAS  RECORDED FOR A NEW DAM
AND
MULLAPERIYAR BECAME A
