Prevent Disaster By Ensuring Safety of the Mullaperiyar Dam in Kerala

The Issue

This is a plea from the heart of a concerned individual who is deeply invested in the safety and prosperity of Kerala. The safety of the Mullaperiyar Dam is a matter of grave concern to us, potentially affecting the lives of 50 lakh individuals and the surrounding environment. The dam, built 119 years ago, stands as a significant risk, given the natural challenges and the state of the infrastructure.

As per studies, its failure could lead to a large-scale disaster, inundating major parts of Idukki, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Ernakulam, and Pathanamthitta districts (source: Central Water Commission). The livelihoods of various communities that directly depend on the river system and the ecosystems that thrive in this region could also be in jeopardy.

The urgent need is for a comprehensive analysis, focused on structural stability and disaster management, to be conducted by a competent authority. We require immediate action to address this issue, prioritizing the lives and livelihoods of Kerala's citizens and the protection of its rich environment.

Therefore, we humbly ask you to support our cause, raise your voices, and help us prevent a potential disaster. Your backing will make a difference in the lives of many. Please sign this petition to ensure the safety of the Mullaperiyar Dam.
