The Supreme Court on Tuesday (January 28, 2025) minimized any alarm on the strength of the Mullaperiyar dam made of 130 -year -old limestone and Surkhi, saying that the structure has remained stoic for more than double its life of life.

A Bank of Judges Hrishikesh Roy and Svn Bhatti indicated that the security of the dam was not an immediate danger as portrayed by the petitioner, Joe Joseph, but nevertheless a long -standing concern.

Both Judges Roy and Bhatti had served in the Superior Court of Kerala. Justice Roy as its president of the Supreme Court.

In December last year, another Bank of the Court had fixed a similar petition that raises security concerns about the dam in January 2025.

That request had urged the Court to reduce the allowed water level of the dam, located in the hills of the Cardamomas of the Western Ghats, from 142 feet to 120 feet to ignore the possibility of rape of the dam. He had also referred to the landslides of July 2024 in Wayanad, which charged 220 lives, which makes it one of the worst natural disasters in recent times.

The petitioner-abogado in that case, the lawyer Mathews Nedumpara, had repressed red that if the Mullaperiyar dam was violated, “the lives and properties of five million people from Kerala would be at serious risk.”
