With the water level in the Mullaperiar dam touching 137 feet, Kerala is once again getting increasingly worried about the safety of the dam. Tamil Nadu issued the first warning on Saturday after the water level in the 126-year-old dam rose to 136 feet. Meanwhile, a campaign has been launched on social media demanding the decommissioning of the dam, which posed a threat to public life.
Now, actor Prithviraj has also extended support to the 'Decommission Mullaperiyar Dam' campaign. 'Regardless of what the facts and findings are or will be, there is no reason or excuse for this 125-year-old dam to exist as a functioning structure! It’s about time we put politics and economics aside and do what is right. We can only trust the system, and let’s pray that the system makes the right decision!', Prithviraj wrote on his Facebook page.
