Tuesday, November 29, 2011: The Kerala High Court on Tuesday asked the state government to inform it about the safety measures taken anticipating threat to the 116-year-old Mullaperiyar dam.
A division bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Manjula Chellur and Justice PR Ramachandra Menon directed Advocate General KP Dhandapani to inform the court by Wednesday morning the immediate measures being taken by the government.
The direction was issued on a petition by advocate Rajamannar seeking for a direction to Idukki district collector to take immediate steps for draining water from the dam and three other nearby dams on a war footing. The petitioner also sought the construction of internal chambers and compartments in the four dams for safety.
