&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Stepping up Kerala&#039;s demand for a new dam at Mullaperiyar, chief minister Oommen Chandy said he will meet the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on Thursday, even as the opposition leader VS Achuthanandan decided to go on a fast on December 7 on the issue.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In an attempt to find a solution to the vexing issue, Chandy would write to his counter part in Tamil Nadu about the danger posed by the dam to the people.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Briefing reporters after a cabinet meeting, Chandy said he was ready to meet the Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa on the issue. Chandy said that the state will not go back on its demand for a new dam. However, there is an urgent need to reduce the water level to 120 ft in Mullaperiyar. He said Kerala would continue to give water to Tamil Nadu.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to agency reports, Chandy sought to know why Jayalalithaa, who was opposing the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Project in Tamil Nadu on the safety issue, was reluctant to adopt the same yardstick in the Mullaperiyar issue where the safety of three million people was involved. &amp;quot;The Tamil Nadu chief minister has been opposing the Koodankulam project on the ground of the safety of the people.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Is not the issue of safety applicable in the case of people in Kerala also,&amp;quot; Chandy asked. The government has also decided to reduce the water level in the Idukki dam by generating more power. With reduced water level, Idukki will be able to check the Mullaperiyar waters in the event of any disaster.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier in the day, leaders of the ruling UDF and the CPM-led LDF visited the dam, offering support to the people agitating for a new dam. KPCC president Ramesh Chennithala and opposition leader VS Achuthanandan visited the dam separately. They said that the two fronts were united on their demand for a new dam in Mullaperiyar.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Mullaperiyar issue found echo in the court, with the Kerala high court asking the state government to file a statement on the disaster management measures being contemplated in the backdrop of the Mullaperiyar issue. Direction on this was given by acting chief justice Manjula Chellur and Justice PR Ramachandra Menon on three petitions filed regarding the safety of the dam.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
One of the pleas included seeking a direction to Idukki Collector to take immediate steps for draining water from Mullaperiyar dam and three other nearby dams. The petitioner, advocate Rajamannar, had also sought construction of internal chambers and compartments in the four dams for safety.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
While Kerala is arguing for construction of a new dam at Mullaperiyar in place of the existing one, Tamil Nadu is completely against it, saying it would deprive water for irrigation to five districts of the state.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Stepping up Kerala&#039;s demand for a new dam at Mullaperiyar, chief minister Oommen Chandy said he will meet the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on Thursday, even as the opposition leader VS Achuthanandan decided to go on a fast on December 7 on the issue.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In an attempt to find a solution to the vexing issue, Chandy would write to his counter part in Tamil Nadu about the danger posed by the dam to the people.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Briefing reporters after a cabinet meeting, Chandy said he was ready to meet the Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa on the issue. Chandy said that the state will not go back on its demand for a new dam. However, there is an urgent need to reduce the water level to 120 ft in Mullaperiyar. He said Kerala would continue to give water to Tamil Nadu.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to agency reports, Chandy sought to know why Jayalalithaa, who was opposing the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Project in Tamil Nadu on the safety issue, was reluctant to adopt the same yardstick in the Mullaperiyar issue where the safety of three million people was involved. &amp;quot;The Tamil Nadu chief minister has been opposing the Koodankulam project on the ground of the safety of the people.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Is not the issue of safety applicable in the case of people in Kerala also,&amp;quot; Chandy asked. The government has also decided to reduce the water level in the Idukki dam by generating more power. With reduced water level, Idukki will be able to check the Mullaperiyar waters in the event of any disaster.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier in the day, leaders of the ruling UDF and the CPM-led LDF visited the dam, offering support to the people agitating for a new dam. KPCC president Ramesh Chennithala and opposition leader VS Achuthanandan visited the dam separately. They said that the two fronts were united on their demand for a new dam in Mullaperiyar.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Mullaperiyar issue found echo in the court, with the Kerala high court asking the state government to file a statement on the disaster management measures being contemplated in the backdrop of the Mullaperiyar issue. Direction on this was given by acting chief justice Manjula Chellur and Justice PR Ramachandra Menon on three petitions filed regarding the safety of the dam.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
One of the pleas included seeking a direction to Idukki Collector to take immediate steps for draining water from Mullaperiyar dam and three other nearby dams. The petitioner, advocate Rajamannar, had also sought construction of internal chambers and compartments in the four dams for safety.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
While Kerala is arguing for construction of a new dam at Mullaperiyar in place of the existing one, Tamil Nadu is completely against it, saying it would deprive water for irrigation to five districts of the state.
&lt;/div&gt;

Chandy said that the state will not go back on its demand for a new dam. However, there is an urgent need to reduce the water level to 120 ft in Mullaperiyar.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Stepping up Kerala&#039;s demand for a new dam at Mullaperiyar, chief minister Oommen Chandy said he will meet the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on Thursday, even as the opposition leader VS Achuthanandan decided to go on a fast on December 7 on the issue.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In an attempt to find a solution to the vexing issue, Chandy would write to his counter part in Tamil Nadu about the danger posed by the dam to the people.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Briefing reporters after a cabinet meeting, Chandy said he was ready to meet the Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa on the issue. Chandy said that the state will not go back on its demand for a new dam. However, there is an urgent need to reduce the water level to 120 ft in Mullaperiyar. He said Kerala would continue to give water to Tamil Nadu.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to agency reports, Chandy sought to know why Jayalalithaa, who was opposing the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Project in Tamil Nadu on the safety issue, was reluctant to adopt the same yardstick in the Mullaperiyar issue where the safety of three million people was involved. &amp;quot;The Tamil Nadu chief minister has been opposing the Koodankulam project on the ground of the safety of the people.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Is not the issue of safety applicable in the case of people in Kerala also,&amp;quot; Chandy asked. The government has also decided to reduce the water level in the Idukki dam by generating more power. With reduced water level, Idukki will be able to check the Mullaperiyar waters in the event of any disaster.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier in the day, leaders of the ruling UDF and the CPM-led LDF visited the dam, offering support to the people agitating for a new dam. KPCC president Ramesh Chennithala and opposition leader VS Achuthanandan visited the dam separately. They said that the two fronts were united on their demand for a new dam in Mullaperiyar.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Mullaperiyar issue found echo in the court, with the Kerala high court asking the state government to file a statement on the disaster management measures being contemplated in the backdrop of the Mullaperiyar issue. Direction on this was given by acting chief justice Manjula Chellur and Justice PR Ramachandra Menon on three petitions filed regarding the safety of the dam.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
One of the pleas included seeking a direction to Idukki Collector to take immediate steps for draining water from Mullaperiyar dam and three other nearby dams. The petitioner, advocate Rajamannar, had also sought construction of internal chambers and compartments in the four dams for safety.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
While Kerala is arguing for construction of a new dam at Mullaperiyar in place of the existing one, Tamil Nadu is completely against it, saying it would deprive water for irrigation to five districts of the state.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Stepping up Kerala&#039;s demand for a new dam at Mullaperiyar, chief minister Oommen Chandy said he will meet the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on Thursday, even as the opposition leader VS Achuthanandan decided to go on a fast on December 7 on the issue.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In an attempt to find a solution to the vexing issue, Chandy would write to his counter part in Tamil Nadu about the danger posed by the dam to the people.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Briefing reporters after a cabinet meeting, Chandy said he was ready to meet the Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa on the issue. Chandy said that the state will not go back on its demand for a new dam. However, there is an urgent need to reduce the water level to 120 ft in Mullaperiyar. He said Kerala would continue to give water to Tamil Nadu.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to agency reports, Chandy sought to know why Jayalalithaa, who was opposing the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Project in Tamil Nadu on the safety issue, was reluctant to adopt the same yardstick in the Mullaperiyar issue where the safety of three million people was involved. &amp;quot;The Tamil Nadu chief minister has been opposing the Koodankulam project on the ground of the safety of the people.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Is not the issue of safety applicable in the case of people in Kerala also,&amp;quot; Chandy asked. The government has also decided to reduce the water level in the Idukki dam by generating more power. With reduced water level, Idukki will be able to check the Mullaperiyar waters in the event of any disaster.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier in the day, leaders of the ruling UDF and the CPM-led LDF visited the dam, offering support to the people agitating for a new dam. KPCC president Ramesh Chennithala and opposition leader VS Achuthanandan visited the dam separately. They said that the two fronts were united on their demand for a new dam in Mullaperiyar.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Mullaperiyar issue found echo in the court, with the Kerala high court asking the state government to file a statement on the disaster management measures being contemplated in the backdrop of the Mullaperiyar issue. Direction on this was given by acting chief justice Manjula Chellur and Justice PR Ramachandra Menon on three petitions filed regarding the safety of the dam.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
One of the pleas included seeking a direction to Idukki Collector to take immediate steps for draining water from Mullaperiyar dam and three other nearby dams. The petitioner, advocate Rajamannar, had also sought construction of internal chambers and compartments in the four dams for safety.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
While Kerala is arguing for construction of a new dam at Mullaperiyar in place of the existing one, Tamil Nadu is completely against it, saying it would deprive water for irrigation to five districts of the state.
&lt;/div&gt;

Stepping up Kerala's demand for a new dam at Mullaperiyar, chief minister Oommen Chandy said he will meet the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on Thursday, even as the opposition leader VS Achuthanandan decided to go on a fast on December 7 on the issue.&nbsp;

<div style="text-align: justify">
Briefing reporters after a cabinet meeting, Chandy said he was ready to meet the Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa on the issue. Chandy said that the state will not go back on its demand for a new dam. However, there is an urgent need to reduce the water level to 120 ft in Mullaperiyar.

According to agency reports, Chandy sought to know why Jayalalithaa, who was opposing the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Project in Tamil Nadu on the safety issue, was reluctant to adopt the same yardstick in the Mullaperiyar issue where the safety of three million people was involved. &quot;The Tamil Nadu chief minister has been opposing the Koodankulam project on the ground of the safety of the people.&nbsp;
