NDA Govt Issues Order Constituting 3-Member Supervisory Committee For Mullaperiyar Dam Tuesday July 01,2014


A day after Kerala moved the Supreme Court for a review of its May 7 verdict on the Mullaperiyar dam issue, the NDA Govt on Tuesday July 01,2014 issued an order constituting a three-member supervisory committee to allay the State’s safety apprehensions.


The order was issued by the Union Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation. 

The panel will be headed by L.A.V. Nathan, Chief Engineer (Dam Safety Organisation) in the Central Water Commission; V.J. Kurian, Additional Chief Secretary, Kerala’s Water Resources Department; and M. Saikumar, Principal Secretary, Tamil Nadu Public Works Department.

 In the May 07,2014 verdict, the Supreme Court had directed for the constitution of a panel to “allay the apprehensions of Kerala” about the safety of the Mullaperiyar dam after the water level was raised to 142 feet.
