The Mullai Periyar Dam, which is located in tamil Nadu, is being operated according to normal rules, according to Water Resources minister Duraimurugan. Regarding the Dam issue he said, "According to the supreme Court's order to hold water up to 142 feet in the Mullaiperiyaru Dam and the monthly water level schedule established by the Central Water Resources Board, tamil Nadu continues to monitor inflow, stagnant water, and rainfall at the dam.
After hearing tamil Nadu's arguments in the case of an individual from kerala on october 28, 2021, the supreme court decided that the specified water level schedule authorized by the Central Water Resources Board be followed until the matter is heard again on november 11, 2021. To keep the water level at the Vaigai Dam on schedule, tamil Nadu transports water via the cavern.
The maximum flow of water to the Vaigai Dam through the caverns of the Vaigai Dam has been set by the government of tamil Nadu due to continuous rainfall in the Mullaiperiyaru Dam's catchment areas and the rising water level of the dam. A total of 500 cubic feet of water is being released. This is done in accordance with the Central Water Resources Board's approved monthly water level schedule for the dam."
