T.N. will strengthen baby dam: Minister
Tamil Nadu’s Water Resources Minister Duraimurugan on Friday assured Kerala that it need not have any apprehension about the Mullaperiyar dam’s safety.
He said the work to strengthen the main dam had already been done in compliance with the Supreme Court’s direction. To strengthen the baby dam, it was necessary to remove three trees near it, he said. “After strengthening the baby dam, we will approach the Supreme Court and then the water level will be raised to 152 feet,” he said, after inspecting the dam.
The Minister said the relationship between Tamil Nadu and Kerala was good, and the row would be resolved amicably. He was accompanied by Ministers I. Periasami, P. Moorthy and R. Sakkarapani, MLAs and officials.
