Safety review committee to visit Mullaperiyar dam on September 1

The Water Resources Minister of Kerala, Mons Joseph, announced that a safety review committee will visit the Mullaperiyar dam on September 1. This follows directives from the Supreme Court and aligns with Kerala's demand for a comprehensive inspection of the dam. The minister emphasized that if the committee does not conduct a full inspection, Kerala will take the matter to the Supreme Court again. He criticized the previous government for not effectively utilizing favorable findings from prior inspections and mentioned the appointment of a new legal team to handle Mullaperiyar-related issues. After receiving the committee's report, Kerala plans to hold a high-level meeting in Delhi to discuss the findings. The state maintains its position on constructing a new dam at Mullaperiyar to address the issue permanently.
