CHENNAI, FEB 18
TN Water Resources Minister Durai Murugan.

The Tamil Nadu government on Friday strongly condemned neighbouring Kerala’s announcement to construct a new reservoir in the place of the existing Mullaiperiyar dam and said the move was “arbitrary and amounted to contempt of Supreme Court order.”

Lashing out at Kerala for the announcement, state Water Resources Minister Duraimurugan said Tamil Nadu would oppose it in all aspects.

“Kerala government’s announcement to build a new dam in the place of the existing one is arbitrary and unacceptable,” he said. The Tamil Nadu government will oppose this in all aspects and the state’s rights (over Mullaiperiyar) will not be given up for any reason, Duraimurugan said.

In a statement here, the minister said the announcement in the Kerala Assembly by the Governor today on a proposal to build a new dam, is contrary to the judgment delivered by the Supreme Court on May 7, 2014 and “contempt of the order of the apex court.”

The Supreme Court’s order clearly stated that the Mullaiperiyar dam is stable in all respects and that there is no need for a new dam. It has also made it clear that the Kerala government cannot impose the new dam project on the Tamil Nadu government, Duraimurugan said, citing the 2014 order.

The judgment, regarding water level in Mullaiperiyar reservoir, had restrained Kerala by a decree of permanent injunction from applying and enforcing the impugned legislation or in any manner interfering with or obstructing Tamil Nadu from increasing the water level to 142 feet and from carrying out repair works.

Meanwhile, AIADMK coordinator and former chief minister O Panneerselvam condemned Kerala for the announcement and claimed the neghbouring state was emboldened due to the “DMK government’s soft approach.”

He urged Chief Minister M K Stalin to take all legal and political steps to oppose Kerala and to ensure Tamil Nadu’s rights on Mullaiperiyar prevailed.
