✦AI Summary
The Tamil Nadu government has petitioned the Supreme Court, accusing Kerala of obstructing essential safety and strengthening work on the Mullaperiyar dam. Tamil Nadu seeks permission to fell trees and complete grouting to ensure the dam's structural integrity and increase water levels as previously authorized by the court.
Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay-led TVK government has in the Supreme Court flagged Kerala’s “obstructionist attitude”, which has stalled the implementation of a 12-year-old apex court judgment in Mullaperiyar dam dispute allowing Tamil Nadu to raise the reservoir water level to 142 feet.
