Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has written to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin urging him to take necessary action to gradually release water from the Mullaperiyar dam, considering that the water level is rising.
The first level warning was issued by Tamil Nadu on 23 October.
In his letter written on 24 October, CM Pinarayi pointed out the recent floods and landslides in Kerala due to the heavy rains and asked the Tamil Nadu government to regulate the water level in the dam so that untoward incidents can be avoided as the "rains are expected to intensify in the coming days”.
