The Tamil Nadu government today moved the Supreme Court accusing Kerala Government of whipping up fear psychosis on Mullaperiyar row and sought the court's direction, restraining the state from making any controversial statement on the issue.
In an application to the Supreme Court, Tamil Nadu alleged that Kerala, despite a status quo order by the Supreme Court, was making public statements on issues of pulling down the century-old dam and constructing a new one in its place.
According to Tamil Nadu, the statements originating from Kerala were creating deep-rooted animosities between the people of two states and posing grave threat to the peace and order and law system in the two neighbouring states.
While Kerala wants to demolish the dam situated in the Idukki district due to the consistent ecological threat and possible collapse of the dam, Tamil Nadu wants the dam to be protected as it caters to the irrigation and drinking water needs of a dozen of its districts.
