A plea for replacing the Mullaperiyar dam, which is in a precarious condition and “posing a danger” to the people in parts of Kerala, was made in the Lok Sabha on Monday.
Raising the issue in Zero Hour, P T Thomas (Congress) said that the dam, built way back in 1885, has been hanging like a “sword of Damocles” over the people of Kerala.
Demanding that a new-generation dam be built in its place, he wanted the Prime Minister to convene a high-level meeting of concerned parties. At the same time, he made it clear that Kerala was not against sharing water from the dam with Tamil Nadu.
