The Supreme Court on Tuesday adjourned the hearing on Mullaperiyar dam dispute between Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
The matter was adjourned for Wednesday by a bench headed by Justice AM Khanwilkar. The bench was informed by the counsel of the Tamil Nadu government that Kerala has filed new affidavits today morning and therefore the Tamil Nadu government sought adjournment.
Earlier, Kerala had submitted before the Supreme Court that the only permanent solution for removing the eternal threat of damage to the Mullaperiyar dam is to build a new dam and sought that judgment of 2014 be reviewed by a larger bench.
Tamil Nadu had urged the court to direct the State of Kerala to cooperate and provide all necessary assistance in a time-bound manner so that the remaining strengthening and maintenance works of Mullaiperiyar Dam were implemented in letter and spirit.
The court was hearing a matter relating to Mullaiperiyar Dam, a longstanding dispute between Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
One of the applicants said that Mullaperiyar Dam, an over-a-century old gravity dam of 53.6 m in height and a reservoir capacity of 443 million, is built on the Periyar River in Kerala.
