Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy today said the misleading campaign in Tamil Nadu on the Mullaperiyar dam issue has affected peace and harmony among people in both the States.
Releasing a book "Mullaperiyar - Why the Demand for a New Dam", written by KPCC President Ramesh Chennithala, Chandy said though Kerala got full support at the national level for its genuine concern, the misleading campaign by certain sections in Tamil Nadu had created panic among common people.
"Every second is precious for millions of people living downstream of the dam in Kerala. Every day is important for farmers in Tamil Nadu as they depend on water from Mullaperiyar dam. Kerala has no problem in giving any quantity of water to Tamil Nadu. People in Tamil Nadu should understand this stand of Kerala. They should not fall into the false propaganda by vested interests. There is no hidden agenda for Kerala on the dam issue. We are ready to give this assurance to Tamil Nadu at any platform," he said.
