Kerala government on Wednesday told the Supreme Court that the Mullaperiyar dam is not safe and if it breaks down then may lead to catastrophic results.
Appearing for Kerala Government, Senior Advocate Jaideep Gupta has made various submissions before a bench of Justice AM Khanwilkar, Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice CT Ravikumar.
The Supreme Court was hearing the matter relating to Mullaiperiyar Dam, a longstanding dispute between the States of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
Kerala Government pointed out that the dispute between two neighbouring states is not relating to sharing of waters but the safety of dams. The state government also stressed that the Mullaperiyar dam is not safe and if the water level keeps rising, then the water has to be discharged or released.
It suggested that the only solution is to make a new dam in the downstream region as if the Mullaperiyar dam breaks then it would have a catastrophic effect. As the argument remained inconclusive, the court would continue hearing the matter tomorrow.
