Mullaiperiyar row: TN Farmers stage stir against Kerala's proposal, burn GO copies

New Indian Express  

MADURAI : Condemning the Kerala government's proposal to construct a new dam at Mullaiperiyar, members of the Tamil Nadu Farmers Association along with several others staged a protest in front of the post office in Tallakulam here on Tuesday. The protest comes in the wake of the Kerala government recently sending a proposal to conduct an environmental impact assessment study for constructing a new dam at Mullaiperiyar, which invited severe objections from the people of Tamil Nadu, especially farmers. Alleging that the Tamil Nadu government has failed to resolve such water-related issues, including the Mekedatu dam row, construction of dams across Palaru, Sirivani and Silandhi rivers, Pandian said, "The state government has failed to act in any of these issues nor has taken any action to aid the farmers. Meanwhile, other farmer leaders, who took part in the protest, said that a contempt petition should be filed against Kerala government for not increasing the height of the Mullaiperiyar dam, even after 10 years of the apex court's order.
