The Supreme Court is to consider the pleas of Kerala and Tamil Nadu in the politically sensitive Mullapperiyar dam safety issue today.In Kerala, the Opposition LDF has decided to join the all-party delegation to New Delhi seeking urgent Central help to sort out the issue amicably out of court. As per a recent resolution passed by the State Assembly, Kerala is asking for immediate reduction of the water level of the dam to 120 feet on safety grounds and construction of a new dam in place of the existing one.In Tamil Nadu, DMK President and former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi in the meantime sought an amicable solution on the issue of Mullaperiyar dam. Delivering a speech on the completion of the day-long hunger protest by the DMK on Monday, he said it was unnecessary for the people of Kerala to be anxious since the Mullapeiryar dam had been strengthened thrice since 1994, using 12 thousand tonnes of concrete.
