Mullaperiyar Dam disaster

One shake on earth!
One movement on a silent night
Going to change the lives of people in 10 districts
Wake up our dear ones in Tamilnadu
We are Indians!
We won’t let you die thirst!
And we wish, you won’t let us die drowned!!!

Rebuild Mullaperiyar Dam, Save Millions
Calling public attention to millions of lives.

Mullaperiyar Dam in Kerala (India) is a composite gravity dam which lost of much of its strength due to continuous leaching of lime from its core. This dam is situated in an active fault zone, which makes the dam vulnerable to failure in an earthquake of moderate intensity with an epicenter close to the dam. Also the high hazard this dam poses a direct threat to the lives and property of 35 lakhs people living downstream and also a threat to the mega storage Idukki reservoir. Hence Mullaperiyar dam has no parallels and considering its age, deterioration and high hazard nature, must be decommissioned and a new dam must be built.
