My beloved brothers and sisters of Tamail Nadu,
You are aware of the stagnant condition between Kerala and Tamil Nadu (TN) over Mullaperiyar dam. Now the people of Kerala are agitating for the reconstruction of the obsolete dam thereby defusing the “water bomb”.
Now it is your turn to SUPPORT the agitation.
You may be wondering why I ask your support. Please read below:
1. The dam is situated in a seismic zone therefore the ageing dam may not survive a strong seismic activity (earth quake above the magintude of 5 in the ritcher scale). Eventually, lives of 3.5 million innocent people are in danger.
2. Six million people of Theni, Madurai, Dindigul, Sivaganga, and, Ramanathapuram will be affected due to drinking water scarcity. It is even feared that thousands of Tamilians may die due to the scarcity of drinking water.
3. Agriculture in 230000 acres of fertile agriculture land of Theni, Madurai, Dindigul, Sivaganga, and, Ramanathapuram will be affected due to the lack of irrigation.
4. The electricity supply to those, above said, districts will be fully or partially disrupted.
5. The reasons #3 and #4 would cause a financial crisis in southern Tamil Nadu (henceforth TN).
6. The Government of Kerala has repeatedly stated its agreement to share water with TN.
Let me elaborate on the above points
The Mullaperiyar region is in a seismic zone which comprises the larger area of Idukki and some parts of Kottayam districts of Kerala. As you are a keen observer of the issue you should be well aware about the catastrophe due to an earthquake of a magnitude more than 5 on the ritcher scale
If Mullaperiyar dam is destroyed, the water in its reservoir will flow in to the Idukki dam. There are weak chances that the Idukki dam can stop the flow of Mullaperiyar water, If not? Idukki dam too will burst, which will lead to the water to rush down the hills and take away the lives of 3.5 million people. Ironically, the first person who dies can be a Tamil because the Mullaperiyar, Devikulam region has considerably large population of Tamils.
Do you want to risk the life of 3.5 million people for just 600 crores of Rupees? Yes, just 600 Cr. Please believe the words of the Kerala finance minister, KM Mani. He said the reconstruction can be completed with 600 Cr. Rupees.
May be, it may fetch up to 12000 Cr.!
Six million innocent Tamils of Theni, Madurai, Thindigal, Sivaganga, and, Ramanadhapuram will be affected due to drinking water scarcity. It is feared that hundreds of thousands of Tamils may die due to the scarcity of drinking water. If the dam bursts, then no body is going to reconstruct it for you because nobody will be alive! If you allow Kerala to reconstruct the dam, then advantage is yours. You can have enough drinking as well as irrigation water.
Now, you are irrigating 230000 acres of land with the Mullaperiyar water. It helps you to generate more than Rs.400000000000 a year and it is the economic back bone of southern Tamil Nadu. If you fail to acknowledge the real concern of Kerala, you are going to lose it permanently. You are loosing it for just Rs 600 cr.
As you are aware, there are many power projects running based on the Mullaperiyar water, for eg. Vaigai project?
Your political leaders especially, Vaiko is misleading you. I have full respect to the compassion shown by Vaiko towards the 2.5 million Srilankan Tamils. Now, I am wondering why he can not show the same compassion towards 3.5 million Keralites.
Now it is your turn to decide. 6000000Tamils+3500000 Malayalees =9500000 lifves depends on the decision of you and your leaders.
