MULLAPERIYAR
KERALA ASSEMBLY SEEKS NEW DAM
The Assembly has unanimously appealed to the central government to support kerala in its attempt to construct new dam to replace the 113 year old mullaperiyar dam to ensure water for the farmers of Tamil Nadu and safety for the people of the state.

The Centre must take the initiate to create conditions that would help in the construction of a new dam that would, in turn, ensure water for Tamil Nadu and safety for the people in the four districts of kerala, the resolution said.
The opposition benches were unanimous in their view that while the state must do every thing possible to get a favorable verdict from supreme court. Leader of the opposition Oommen chandi stood up first to support the government resolution
