For years, my beloved home Kerala has been dependent on the Mullaperiyar Dam. This is more than just a structure; it's a crucial source of water for us, ensuring our fields stay irrigated and our homes keep running. Yet, the dam currently finds itself under severe threat; the demand to raise its height could lead to disaster, both environmentally and for the people who depend on its waters.

Built in 1895, the Mullaperiyar Dam is a colonial-era structure. Experts have raised concerns about its stability. Rising the height of the dam increases the pressure it must withstand, increasing the likelihood of failure and potential catastrophe.

This is not just about the Mullaperiyar Dam. It's about our lives, our safety, and Kerala's future. It’s not about us versus them, but about embracing a sustainable co-existence. Protect our waters today, and we secure the future for our children tomorrow.

Let's call on our government to reinforce the dam and adhere to expert recommendations. Let's place safety and sustainability first before any further developments to the Mullaperiyar Dam. Kerala depends on it. Please, I urge you: stand with Kerala, stand with me. Sign this petition.
