Friday, December 23, 2011: Kerala on Thursday accused Tamil Nadu of “not responding positively” to its offer for talks on the raging Mullaperiyar row as shops and business establishments remained shut in response to a traders’ strike in five districts of the neighbouring state.Chief Minister Ommen Chandy said Kerala wanted to solve the row over the dam amicably through talks, but the response of Tamil Nadu had “not been positive”.
He also took a dig at his Tamil Nadu counterpart Jayalalithaa saying she was opposing the Kudankulam Nuclear Power plant citing the safety concerns of local people but not applying the same yardstick for the Mullaperiyar dam.
