The Tamil Nadu government, led by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, has complained to the Supreme Court about Kerala's "obstructionist attitude" in the ongoing dispute over the Mullaperiyar dam. This dispute dates back to 2014 when the court ruled in favor of Tamil Nadu, allowing the reservoir water level to be raised from 136 feet to 142 feet.
However, the process has been delayed due to Kerala's lack of cooperation in strengthening the dam. The report submitted by advocate B. Karunakaran and senior advocate G. Umapathy urges the court to allow Tamil Nadu to fell trees near the dam site and complete grouting works on the dam. Tamil Nadu accuses Kerala of "double standards" and points out that the state had already granted necessary permissions, but Kerala has not started the work.
The report also highlights that Kerala has not shared real-time rainfall/flood data for inflow forecasting in the catchment of the Mullaperiyar dam.
