TN CM thanks Kerala CM for permission to fell trees downstream of Baby Dam
 
Thiruvananthapuram, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Saturday thanked Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for granting permission for felling the fifteen trees downstream of the Baby Dam at Mullaperiyar Dam.
In a letter to the Kerala CM, MK Stalin said "I have been informed by our officers of the Water Resources Department that the permission for felling the fifteen trees downstream of the Baby Dam at Mullaperiyar Dam has been granted by the Forest Department of Kerala."

This long pending request was crucial to strengthen the Baby Dam and Earthern Dam and this permission would enable us to initiate steps for strengthening these structures, he said.

"On behalf of my Government and the people of the Southern districts of Tamil Nadu, I thank you and the Government of Kerala for this permission. This would go a long way in benefitting the people of both States and I sincerely hope that this spirit of cooperation between our States continues," he added.

Reiterating Tamil Nadu's commitment to undertake all steps needed to further strengthen the Mullaperiyar Dam and ensure the safety of the people living downstream in Kerala, he requested Kerala to expedite the other important requests from Tamil Nadu for granting permission to repair the road between Vandi Periyar and Periyar Dam site and to transport necessary materials.

"This is the only land route to the dam site and hence these road works are essential to convey the materials and machinery to carry out the repair and strengthening works," he pointed out.
