Reiterating the strong opposition by the State government against Mekedatu dam, Minister for Water Resources Duraimurugan on Thursday said Tamil Nadu would not allow the construction of the dam.
Speaking to media persons on the sidelines of a review meeting on ongoing water supply works in Vellore district here, Mr. Duraimurugan said that the Mekedatu dam issue was not raised at the Cauvery Water Dispute Tribunal nor before the Supreme Court. However, the issue has been raised again by some people.
“If Mekedatu dam is built, the water flow to Tamil Nadu will be affected immensely. So,there will be no compromise on the issue,” he said.
