Reconstruct the Mullapperiyar Dam to Safeguard Kerala from a Looming Disaster

The Issue

As a lifelong resident of Kerala, I’ve witnessed firsthand the threat that our community faces due to the deteriorating state of Mullapperiyar Dam. Its current condition poses a grave danger to us, making it a ticking water bomb on the verge of causing massive destruction anytime. For us, it isn't just about a dam; it's about our homes, our families, our lives.

The Mullapperiyar Dam, over a hundred years old, has carried persistent calls for its reconstruction due to extensive structural damages over the years. Experts suggest that the dam, if not properly taken care of, has a high possibility of bursting, laying our state and its people vulnerable to an impending catastrophe. But the issue isn't localized to Kerala alone. The aftereffects of a potential dam failure would reverberate throughout the nation, impacting India's socio-economic fabric.

The need of the hour is to understand the seriousness of the situation and take immediate, decisive action. It is vital that the relevant authorities take up the mantle of responsibility to reconstruct Mullapperiyar Dam. Our request is simple but crucial: protect the welfare of the people, their homes, and ultimately, the entire nation. By signing this petition, we collectively implore the Government to prioritize the dam's reconstruction and prevent a potential disaster that looms over us.
