PM should call meeting of Kerala, Tamil Nadu: CPI
The CPI Central Secretariat said the Kerala government should guarantee the supply of water for irrigation.
New Delhi: "This issue need not become a controversy with agitations
and counter agitations," the CPI Central Secretariat said,
appealing to the people of the two neighbouring states to
"restrain themselves and create an atmosphere for settlement
through discussions".
While urging Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to convene a meeting of the two Chief Ministers and "take political decision to settle the issue", the party said the Kerala government should guarantee the supply of water for irrigation to Tamil Nadu. "The century old arrangement should continue."
The party said the apprehensions of the people of Kerala about the safety of the 116-year-old dam should be taken into active consideration. It also appealed to the Supreme Court to expedite its enquiry and decide a pending case as early as possible. PTI
