New Delhi: The Mullaperiyar central empowered committee met on Wednesday in Delhi. The Kerala government also submitted a plea to the empowered committee seeking more time to submit its report. The committee is yet to consider the plea.
The Kerala govt has asked for more time to conduct tests on the current status of the dam, saying that tests were still continuing on the Mullaperiyar Dam.
The report will be finalised once tests on the Mullaperiyar Dam are over.
Kerala insists that until the tests were completed, it will be difficult to finalise a report.
Kerala and Tamil Nadu have been at loggerheads after Kerala claimed the dam had been rendered unsafe by numerous earthquakes. The claim was rubbished by the Jayalalithaa government in Tamil Nadu.
