VS one day fast on Mullaperiyar dam issue


Wednesday, December 7, 2011: Leader of the Opposition in the Kerala assembly VS Achuthanandan began his one-day fast at Vandiperiyar in Idukki district in support of the demand for a new dam at Mullaperiyar, over which the state and Tamil Nadu are locked in a dispute.
Speaking to reporters here, the 88-year-old CPM veteran said he would also become a link in the LDF sponsored ‘human wall’ formation in support of the issue at Kochi on December 8. LDF plans to form a ‘human wall’ from Mullaperiyar to Kochi that day as part of the ongoing campaign on Mullaperiyar issue to demand construction of a new dam in place of the 116- year-old structure.
