MPs seek Manmohan's intervention
New Delhi:
Parliamentarians from Kerala on Friday met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and sought his intervention to ensure that the State's concerns about the safety of the reservoir were addressed.
The MPs told the Prime Minister that Kerala was not against giving water to Tamil Nadu as per the agreement, but asserted that raising the storage level in the 111-year-old dam above the safety mark of 136 feet was fraught with grave danger.
"We told the Prime Minister that Kerala was ready to give Tamil Nadu its due share of water, but it should not come at the cost of the safety of the reservoir and the people," CPI(M) MP P. Karunakaran told PTI here.
The delegation asked Singh to intervene in the dam row immediately as the emotive issue was threatening to assume dangerous proportions and ruin friendly relations between the neighbours. They also submitted a memorandum containing their demands to the Prime Minister.
