The Mullaperiyar dam stands for life as well as death for the people of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. On the one hand, its water is vital for irrigation, while on the other, several families live under the threat of being washed away in case the dilapidated dam collapses. However, the leaders of the two states are yet to reach a consensus on whether the level of water in the reservoir should be raised. Both states must try and resolve this issue amicably. The two chief ministers must not shy away from their responsibilities and participate in the talks.
