THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala would approach the Supreme Court against the TamilNadu government that failed to abide by theParambikulam-Aliyar treaty and would demand a compensation for the extensive damage of crops inPalakkad, chief minister OommenChandy said on Wednesday.
"Tamil Nadu is not responding to the letters written by the water resources minister. The all party meeting convened here has urged to take up the issue with the Tamil Nadu chief minister. The state government will do everything possible to get its share of water and will ask compensation for the loss of crops,'' said the chief minister.
The committee, which was constituted to monitor the treaty, has also failed to convene. There was no response from Tamil Nadu to the letters sent to them regarding the treaty. Kerala has been vehemently opposing the Tamil Nadu Government's stand and the all party meeting had a united stand in this matter, he said adding that Kerala would demand that TN release water meant for the state.
Kerala would initiate legal steps and the state would demand the water that was to be released to Kerala.
The all party meeting is said to have suggested that a chief minister level talk be held to resolve the problem. A letter would be send to the Tamil Nadu chief minister soon, said Chandy.
Tamil Nadu has violated the Parambikulam-Aliyar river pact and was not responding to the letters on the issue written by the state. Palakkad district was facing severe drought conditions and the paddy cultivation in the district was under the threat of destruction.
