Nedunkandam: Former minister and CPM leader MM Mani has revealed that the Mullaperiyar Dam water bomb is above the Vandiperiyar. The inside of the Mullaperiyar Dam, which was constructed using jaggery and lime, became empty. MM Mani said that Tamil Nadu was playing politics on the issue. He was speaking at a farmers’ fast organized by the Nedunkandam High Range Conservation Committee
Former Minister’s words
‘Think about common sense. The inside is empty, with jaggery, zirconium and lime used. I have been inside it many times with ministers. The water is dripping. There is no point in justifying that it is coated with cement and wire. Will it stand if it is coated with cement? If anything happens, they will die without drinking water, and we will drink water and die.
Stand like a bomb thousands of feet above the Vandiperiyar. No big deal. I have said this in the Assembly. The people of Tamil Nadu are playing politics with this. There is no other way. What other way than the new dam. This is the position of our LDF government in this regard. I agree with that. If the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Stalin and the leadership there take a positive stand, the problem will go away quickly. There is nothing more foolish than going to dig into whether it will stand.
The new dam will soon be completed by the two governments. I think you should raise the voice of the High Range Protection Committee for this too. When the issue is raised, the people of the two states should be dealt with spontaneously without any conflict.
It is noteworthy that these are the words of Mani Asan when the government and the Chief Minister said that there is no need to worry about the safety of the Mulaperiyar Dam and that action will be taken against those who spread unnecessary fear.
