So it was told Mullaperiyar is safe apprehending trouble if it was not declared so??? Secondly, it looks like the statement was relative. the dam is safe if the water level is 136 ft, not safe if water level 142 ft, safest dam in the world if water level is 0!!!??? If all Indian states should be treated equally then the dam should never have been built, what about the needs of downstream regions and the environmental cost of diverting water? Nobody talks of how much water Tamil Nadu should be allowed to take from the dam, secondly it is dangerous to allow one state have control of the dam in another state. Why not advocate new agriculture methods (Israeli model) to reduce dependance on water.
