Not Kerala Engineers, it is TN PWD Engineers who said that the dam is seismically & hydrologically NOT SAFE and recommended strengthening!

They even published papers in reputed journals!
I have all documents with me to substantiate the above tweets, it is the consistent and continuous meticulous research I am doing since 2006.

Everything will be included, when I publish my book on #mullaiperiyardam.

I will write the book for the future generations
