The Kerala Government has planned to open a full-fledged
modern police station near the Mullaiperiyar dam site shortly and
deploy 20 police personnel. Tamil Nadu has been demanding deployment of
CISF personnel for the security of the dam.
The main
dam, baby dam, and all the nearby forest areas will come under the
purview of the new station, official sources here said.
It
has already renovated a building owned by the Forest Department, on
western side of the dam near the 13 vents. One Inspector of Police, two
Sub-Inspectors and 20 police personnelwould be deployed.
All necessary facilities had been created on the new premises to inaugurate the station immediately after
Makara Vilakku
festival in Sabarimala. Wireless sets, communication equipment,
furniture and other facilities have been provided.
The proposed station
police will have easy access to Vallakadavu through forest road.
The objective is to counter Tamil Nadu’s petition in the Supreme Court seeking deployment of CISF personnel at the dam site and face the hearing in the Supreme Court on the security threat to the dam
