Kerala Ministers begin fast on Mullaperiyar issue


Monday, 05 December 2011: Kerala Ministers KM Mani and PJ Joseph began fast in connection with the Mullaperiyar issue which has seen Kerala and Tamil Nadu at loggerheads.
KM Mani holds the fast at Chappath in Idukki district and PJ Joseph at New Delhi. Meanwhile CPM stalwart and Opposition leader VS Achuthanandan would observe a one day fast on December 7 at Mullaperiyar to mobilise public opinion in favour of Kerala’s demand for a new dam and urgent central intervention.
He would observe fast at Chappath at Vandipperiyar near the Mullaperiyar dam. Achuthanandan’s fast, part of the Opposition LDF’s agitation over the Mullaperiyar dam issue, will precede the organisation of a “human wall” from the dam site to Kochi on December 8.
