I read a note written by a person on facebook about MullaPeriyarDam, which inspired me to write these words here.
Those who do not know the context, MullaPeriyarDam is a large reservoir situated in the Kerala Tamilnadu state border which has exceeded its life expectancy and still holding water at dangerous levels to supply water to Tamilnadu State primarily. While this water is essential for agriculture and other requirements in Tamilnadu, the reservoir is reported by many knowledgable people that it might not survive for long. Any collapse of the reservoir will wipe a few districts in Kerala and could lead to the death of millions of people in Kerala.
Kerala has a funny polical balance (or imbalance) between the 2 alliances namely UDF and LDF. Every 5 years the opposition alliance switch over to become the ruling party. Both the alliance parties are very thick headed and quite irresponsible to the people of the state. Politians in Kerala treats people as votebanks that has to be maniputed for their benefits. They are too pre-occupied with their own internal politics and intra party politics. It is a pitty, but the reality of the situation in Kerala is that there is a complete absence of a committed leadership in Kerala. A subject of grave importance such as risk of millions of people's life is just another subject for them of average importance.
Hope the national leadership would take note of this risk and quickly do someting about it. At least consider that there is a risk of loosing a million votes(that is the only risk politicians and political party takes up as their own problem). It is our parents, brothers, sisters and children who are living under the threat of MullaPeriyarDam. We have equal right of living safely as much as the people on the other side of the Sahya moutain range.
