HC caps removal of desilted material from Chulliyar Dam
In its August 20 order, the court recorded that 2,25,830.17 cubic metres of desilted material was available at the site and directed that no more than this quantity be removed
The High Court has ordered precise measurement of desilted material at Chulliyar Dam to avert overremoval and potential financial loss to the State. In its August 20 ruling, the court stated that 2,25,830.17 cubic metres of desilted material was present at the site and mandated that no more than this amount be extracted. The court amended its prior interim order, instructing authorities to verify the material's quantity in the presence of the Palakkad District Geologist.
The court emphasized that such a measure was crucial to prevent Koothradans Infrastructure, the petitioner, from gaining an unfair advantage and causing financial harm to the State. Authorities were also instructed to ensure that no transit pass, permission, or other authorization is granted for the removal of material exceeding the verified quantity.
