First of all this is not a SC verdict on mullaperiyar. Its just a report submitted by the committee appointed by SC. The verdict of SC regarding this case is yet to come. So it cant be said that its a setback for Kerala. Kerala government can challenge the report in the court by placing arguments and documents stating that the present 110+year old reservoir is not safe. Only thing is that our lawyers have to work even more harder finding out the flaws in the report and pointing it out in the SC. When SC sought to know whether a contract could be unilaterally terminated, Mr. H Salve said the Legislature had the competence to put an end to the contract, which was not in Keralas interest. By legislation, a contract could be varied, altered or annulled. Remember the "Dam Safety Act" passed by Kerala assembly.
But the statement of some central ministers from TN clearly shows that the report was prepared under the influence of TN politics.
According to contract, only the dam area is leased to TN, and water is not leased. As Kerala does not gain anything from the project inside its territory, it is free to revisit or cancel the agreement. So as per the contract the water belongs to kerala and TN is only allowed to use the water for irrigation but TN is using water for producing electricty and that itself is a breach of contract. The river derives, flows and form a reservoir in its full course entirely and exclusively inside Kerala. From the revervoir, TN collects water to the eastern side of Western Ghats via a tunnel. If a proportional division of waters is done, TN will get zilch. It is the magnanimity of the people of Kerala that waters the arid plains of TN. The people of Kerala do not want to stop the water transfer. They are not even demanding their fair share. They just want to live without the fear of the dam breaching and killing hundreds of thousands in a the flash floods. However, the ingrate tamilians, true to their nature (see what they did in Sri Lanka, for example) care nothing about the security or even the lives of the people of Kerala. These idiots do not understand that if the dam bursts they will be the biggest losers. And if anything happens to this dam, all water transfers to TN from other dams in Kerala will stop due to popular outrage in Kerala and a complete boycott of TN will follow. History will be different afterwards and Tamils will be our enemy no 1..!
