Justice K T Thomas betrayed Kerala in Mullaiperiyar Dam issue...?

The five member High Power Committee appointed by the Supreme Court to study and submit its detailed report on the safety and sustainability of the 117 - Year old Mullaperiyar dam in Keral State, has submitted its report in a sealed cover in the SC and the report is publicized by leading Malayalam News Channels and print media yesterday. Justice K.T. Thomas was also appointed in the high power panel as a representative of the people of Kerala.

Kerala's government and people have termed the report disappointing and stated that they would seek legal advise to move further in this issue. Many people feel that Justice KT Thomas who was included in the pane did not give any weightage to the fear and concern of millions of Keralites who live in the shadow of terror.

The controversy over the strength and safety of the century old dam is a cause for high concern and fear for more than four million people of Kerala, who fear in the worst scenario of a dam break they would be washed away in minutes.

The Government of Kerala has categorically made it clear that the water in the dam can be given to their neighbor Tamil Nadu as already agreed. Kerala has only demanded and sought the safety of its people. As this dispute is between two states, it is very difficult for the weak coalition Government in the centre to make a decision in this regard.

The government of Kerala and the general public has dismissed the report saying, 'who can guarantee the life of the 117 year old dam which exists in a frequent tremor prone area'....? If some untoward incident (which is not in the hands of any human) occurs, who will bear responsibility of the huge loss of life ....!!!

Indonesian Earth Quakes and Fresh latest Tsunami warnings April 11, 2012.

Panic stricken Indonesian people 
The two earth quakes that hit Indonesia few hours ago with a gap of two hours are of highest intensity measuring 8.7 and 8.2 respectively on the Richter scale and have spread ocean waves as well as fear waves in the minds of the people of almost 28 countries, as many world-wide weather and climate warning agencies have warned of a possible tsunami attack in most of the coastal areas of these neighboring countries.

Videos of people swallowed by huge ocean waves in Indonesia are visible on most TV channels and scenes of panic common people running hither to wither are also creating sympathy and concern among the people all over the world.

Mild to moderate tremors were felt in many countries including India this afternoon. In many Indian cities panic stricken people ran out of their apartments and multistoried buildings as the buildings began to tremble.

No loss of life or property is reported in any part of India yet. Many TV channels are repeatedly showing the expected time of a possible tsunami hit in the coastal towns and cities of Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam and Alleppy in Kerala, Chennai, Thuthukkudy and Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Sreekakulam in Andhra Pradesh.

How ever the tsunami warning centers and the weather reporting agencies of India are of mixed opinions on whether India has tsunami threat or not....!
