3 Million Indians Are going to “DIE”…SAVE US..!!!!!.Please HELP US Now or never.!!!.
Just one click on “share” can help a movement by 33 million to save a state … & 3 million lives…by rebuilding a dam, which is at the verge of breaking,
post ur valuable opinion also, if u can
We have an 116 years old Dam, in an extremely DANGEROUS, deteriorated condition (in the state of Kerala) made of lime stone and surkhi (technology of 19th century), actually built with an expected life span of just 50 years, in an area with frequent recent earthquakes. OUR DEMAND IS TO ALLOW US TO REBULD THIS DAM…, which outsiders are opposing by playing regional politics
Our state is so densely populated (with 33 million on a small land) and this inevitable mishap will result in the washing of four districts in Kerala into Arabian ocean, with 3 million lifes, major cities, infrastructure, properties along with the unique cultural and natural diversity of the Gods own country. We are helplessly waiting in sleepless nights and this is a TIME BOMB, that is ticking…
Current threatening situation
From 1979 onwards, due to earthquake and cracks developed on the Dam, Kerala has expressed concerns on the safety of Dam. Recently the deterioration on the dam is to such a level that many major institutions including IIT s, have reported the dam as unsafe and potentially hazardous, and advised to decommission the Dam. The reason behind the current panic, in the people in Kerala is due to frequent earth quakes in the region during past few months clocking to magnitude greater than four in Richter scale and new major cracks and leaks that has developed on the Dam and the Dam is at the verge of breaking.
Kerala just wants permission from Indian Central Government to build a new dam at the same place in Kerala’s own land (against Tamilnadu’ s opposition) and secure three million lifes and properties. Kerala has no issues in giving water to Tamilnadu, as it has continued for 116 years (as per agreement made during British) or more water if they want. But Tamilnadu is not allowing to build new dam, and putting pressure on the Indian government not to allow Kerala, as Tamilnadu fears, the contract made for 999 years to give water from Kerala to Tamilnadu from present dam, will be void by making new dam. And for this they are using their increased political bargaining strength on the central Indian Government. Also the politicians are using this situation to make race discrimination between two sates and gain benefits by playing dangerous regional politics.
Disastrous Results of the inevitable Dam break
4 districts in Kerala, with population of total 3 million will be washed off into Arabian sea. Will lead to breaking of a chain of dams down to Mullaperiyar, including one of the biggest arch dams in Asia (Idukki) resulting in unpredictable disaster. The magnitude of the energy burst (potential energy of water stored in the dam) is estimated to be 180 times more powerful than that of the Atom Bomb in Hiroshima. The infrastructure of the complete state would be devastated with no power, transport, industries for years, as this directly washes off Kerala’s main power station, sea port, new major container terminal, airport, Cochin City etc. Impact on agriculture, drinking water supply and power generation in many disticts of southern Tamilnadu, Impact of a disaster on the general economy of Kerala and Tamilnadu. Impact on flora and fauna including endangered species & periyar tiger reserve..and on Tourism, as Kerala’s major tourist stations like thekkady.. will be no more.
History
The Mullaperiyar Dam is a 116 year old gravity dam made in 1895 by the British Government in “Kerala” across river “Periyar” with lime stone and surkhi (old age technology) with an expected life span of 50 years and has a height of 53.6 m (176 ft) and length of 365.7 m (1,200 ft) and lies 881 m (2,890 ft) above sea level on the Cardamom Hills of Western Ghats in Thekkadi, Idukki District of Kerala, India. It was built by British, for taking water into the neighboring state of “Tamilnadu” for irrigation in some of their districts. That time ruler in Kerala (Maharaja of Travancore) was forced by British empire; to sign an agreement, to lease the land of dam reservoir and give water to Tamilnadu. The agreement was to give 8000 acres (32,374,851square meters) of land for the reservoir and another 100 acres to construct the dam. And the tax for each acre was Rupees 5 (0.097 $) per year. When India became independent, the lease agreement expired and got revalidated again in 1970 and Tamilnadu is taking water from this Dam in Kerala for past 116 Years for irrigation and power production without any objection and we don’t have any objection now too. Please allow us to build a new dam, take the water, but same time allow us to save our life too. both tamilnadu and kerala will benefit & got nothing to loose..
Disclaimer: the pics shown here are graphic illustrations to describe Kerala’s concerns, and there is no strawberry juice or real blood in the dam.
Our Tamilnadu bors are abusing us in below posts saying Indians are getting mislead & cheated by animated pics here. I believe all Indians here are wise enough to understand these are graphic illustrations to expain our concerns…and no need for a disclaimer.…but still putting as our tamil bros here r concerned

This thread was made to express Keralites fear on a mojor life threat and request for help frm our tamilian & othr Indian bros..by sharing info we have…& not to prove Tamilnadu a villan..but seeing below posts and abuses frm our tamil bros for posting this thread.. now, there is very less hope in getting help frm TN...kerala is having arguments based on IIT reports, earthquakes and facts mentioned above to prove TN wrong, on othr side tamilians hav central committee report, and examples of old dams to prove Kerala wrong and both bros are fighting here each othr.
