Mullaperiyar

The Mullaperiyar dam is located at 9° 31′ 43″ N, 77° 8′ 39″ E in the Peerimedu Taluk of Idukki district, Kerala state of India bordering the state of Tamil Naudu . It was constructed in the head waters of Periyar river in 1895.  The quality of British construction stood it in good stead till 1979 when its vulnerability got exposed by the media resulting in the reduction of water level from 152 to 136 feet by opening the spill ways in 1980.  Recent developments in the area is paving its way to make it the biggest disaster of man kind if neglected.  The ascetic man on the weaker side of the dam tremble with fear of his existence and the modesty in him is tormented by unaccountability of the authorities.  A proposal for the new dam was received with effusive acclamation though political consensus among the states could not be achieved yet.  This is a comprehensive study of the biggest dam disaster of the past with Mullaperiyar.  By spreading the news and collecting votes we wish to shake the insolvent might that stand against the weak dam.
