Our treasured Idukki Dam, India's second-largest arch dam, is vitally important to the economic and environmental health of our region. The dam is responsible for a significant portion of Kerala's electricity generation and is crucial to managing monsoon flooding. Despite its importance, safety measures have not kept pace with the dam's aging infrastructure.

According to recent studies, increased proactive safety measures are needed to safeguard against a major disaster. This includes regular maintenance, infrastructure upgrades, and investment into auxiliary spillways to manage high water levels during monsoons. Historical data shows that heavy monsoons, like the one in 2018, could threaten the structure of the dam if left unprepared.

We call on the government of Kerala to prioritize and fund safety measures for the Idukki Dam. It's time to ensure the longevity of this critical infrastructure and the safety of the communities that surround it. Sign this petition to demand action now.
