The sudden release of water from the Mullaperiyar Dam by the Tamil Nadu government was one of the reasons for the devastating deluge in Kerala, the state government told the Supreme Court on Thursday. The Pinarayi Vijayan government said that in the wake of prior alerts by its engineers, Kerala's water resources secretary had written to her counterpart in Tamil Nadu government and the chairman of the supervisory committee on Mullaperiyar dam, requesting controlled release of water without waiting for the water level in the reservoir to reach its full level.
