Interestingly, who raised alarm about safety of Mullaperiyar Dam after independence?
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!

Sr Adv Jaideep Gupta: the plea before you is the Joe Joseph vs State of Tamil Nadu. Parties have resolved differences apart from what height has to be maintained and what height should be of the reservoir level so that Tamil Nadu can draw some water
Sr Adv Jaideep Gupta: As per the rule curb prepared by state of kerala it indicates the levels which has to be maintained at different dates ... this takes into account the rainfall which has taken place for several years.

Justice AM Khanwilkar: one is the stability of the dam and the committee should take proactive steps with regard to that and also steps needs to be taken so that zero loss is caused whether due to floods or anything else. Tell us regarding this.
ASG: Please check the internal page of the report. It says raising the level from 136 to 142 feet will lead to jeopardising the issue. Then studies were asked to be conducted by National Disaster Management Authority
It started heavily even in Thiruvananthapuram. Heard that Mudirapuzha arm of Periyar receiving heavy rainfall and Madupetty Dam shutters are opened. Mullaperiyar is at 136.60 ft at 12noon today. #KeralaFloods
The water from Madupetty Dam will flow through Munnar to Kallarkutty and Lower Periyar Dams and will join Bhoothankettu Barrage in Periyar River..
Mudirapuzha arm of Periyar is used to receive heavy rainfall. This sub basin along with Mullaperiyar catchment created great havocs in 1924 and 1961 floods.
