India Current Affairs 2011. The Supreme Court of India directed Tamil Nadu to ensure that the water level in the Mullaperiyar dam does not exceed 136 feet but declined to entertain Kerala’s plea for reducing the level to 120 feet

The Supreme Court of India directed Tamil Nadu to ensure that the water level in the Mullaperiyar dam does not exceed 136 feet but declined to entertain Kerala’s plea for reducing the level to 120 feet. A five-Judge Constitution Bench, headed by Justice DK Jain gave the order.

The Supreme Court asked Tamil Nadu and Kerala to maintain restraint on their statements on the Mullaperiyar dam row. Urging for sanity and sensitivity, the court lamented that they were adding fuel to the fire instead of dousing it. The Bench also asked the Centre to clarify its position on Tamil Nadu's plea for deployment of Central Industrial Security Force to protect the dam from possible vandalism.
