Central force not necessary for dam safety, says SC

Thursday, December 15, 2011: The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected Tamil Nadu’s plea for immediate deployment of CISF at the Mullaperiyar dam.
A bench consisting of Justice DK Jain rejected Tamil Nadu’s plea after Kerala assured all security for the dam.
Tamil Nadu approached the court saying that Kerala is trying to destroy the dam. Senior advocate Harish Salwe, who appeared for Kerala, told the court that the state is ready to arrange all security for the dam and for the properties coming under the limits of Tamil Nadu.
Tamil Nadu’s plea was rejected after Kerala did not seek deployment of CISF in the area.
