Mullaperiyar: Govt to submit new affidavit before HC today


Thursday, 15 December 2011: The Kerala Government today will file a new affidavit in Kerala High Court on Mullaperiyar dam issue.
The move came in the wake of widespread criticism that the affidavit submitted by the state government in the high court recently was incomplete and failed to substantiate the government’s stand on the issue.
The affidavit was submitted following a demand of the court to apprise it of the different measures taken by the state government to ensure safety of the public in the light of reported weakness of the dam.
The 116-year-old Mullaperiyar dam in Kerala which supplies water to Tamil Nadu is in the eye of a storm currently following Kerala’s demand to build a new dam at the site.
