Stalin urges TN govt to move SC on Siruvani issue

Coimbatore: DMK treasurer and Opposition leader in Tamil Nadu Assembly M K Stalin on Saturday said Chief Minister Jayalalithaa should move the Supreme Court to prevent the proposal by Kerala government to construct a dam across Siruvani river.

Addressing party workers here, he said Jayalalithaa should have moved the Supreme Court and obtained a stay on the proposal to construct the dam.

The AIADMK MPs also failed to raise the issue in the Parliament, he said, adding construction of dam would affect the supply of drinking water in Coimbatore, Erode and Tirupur districts.

The government should also immediately convene an all party meeting and take steps to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to stop the move, he said.
