Halt Kerala’s check dam construction: Velumani 

Former minister and AIADMK headquarters secretary S.P. Velumani chastised the DMK government on Wednesday for its lack of response to Kerala’s proposal to build a check dam across the Amaravathi River’s tributary, the Silandhi River. Velumani charged that the state government was neglecting to uphold Tamil Nadu’s rights over interstate waterways, acting as a “mute spectator” in the process.

Following media allegations that the Kerala government, led by the Communist party, was trying to build the check dam at Peruguda, Edappadi K. Palaniswami, the leader of the AIADMK, brought up the matter. Since then, the governments of Tamil Nadu and Kerala have received notices about this problem from the Southern bench of the National Green Tribunal (NGT).
Velumani charged that the Tamil Nadu government was ignoring the problem in order to protect the first family’s corporate interests, who control the majority. “They are prepared to guarantee the rights of the state and the well-being of its citizens for their personal gain,” Velumani declared in a statement.
He also took issue with State Water Resource Minister Duraimurugan’s inability to clearly address the Leader of the Opposition’s worries on Kerala’s building plans. Velumani gave the minister a call.

Velumani underlined that in order to safeguard the state’s water resources and the interests of its citizens, the Tamil Nadu government should approach the NGT and take all required action.
