TN CPIM should make its stand clear on Mullaperiyar dam issue: TPDK

In view of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in Kerala promising in its poll manifesto to construct a new Mullaperiyar Dam in Idukki district if it came to power, the Thanthai Periyar Dravida Kazhakam (TPDK) today sought to know the stand of CPIM in the State on the matter.

The Supreme Court had already given its final verdict to increase the height of the dam, which was a lifeline to seven districts of Tamil Nadu, TPDK General Secretary K. Ramakrishnan told reporters here.

However, LDF in its manifesto for the Assembly elections had promised to construct a dam at the place for the safety of the people, a contentious issue between the two States for the last few years, he said.

In view of this, CPIM in Tamil Nadu should make its stand clear on the issue, whether it was supporting its counterpart, a major constituent of the Front in Kerala, Ramakrishnan asked.
