Mullaperiyar Dam is constructed over the headwaters of the Periyar River river in
Kerala, India. It is operated by the Government of Tamil Nadu according to a 999year lease agreement made during erstwhile British colonial rule. The government
of Tamil Nadu has proposed an increase in the storage level of the dam from the
currently maintained 136 feet to 142 feet. The Kerala government has opposed this
move, citing safety concerns for the more than hundred year old bridge and
especially for the thickly populated districts downstream.
A five member Empowered Committee headed by the former CJI, A S Anand, has
been constituted to go into the safety of the Mullaperiyar dam.
