Kerala has expressed concern over a Tamil Nadu move to draw water from the Aliyar river through a new link canal for water supply schemes.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has informed his Tamil Nadu counterpart M.K. Stalin that Tamil Nadu would be violating the Parambikulam-Aliyar Project (PAP) agreement if it goes ahead with this proposal.
In a letter to Mr. Stalin, Mr. Vijayan sought his urgent intervention to drop a proposal to supply water to places including Oddanchatram, Keeranur and Nelikkarapatty by constructing a new link canal and drawing water from the Aliyar.
