Kerala seeks a Mullaperiyar dam safety review under the 2025 terms of reference. A panel handling the review conducts both field work and hearings as part of its assessment.
The panel conducts a field inspection of the main dam, baby dam, earthen dam and the spillway. It also hears submissions from both sides involved in the dispute—Kerala and Tamil Nadu—through the process set out in the 2025 ToR. According to reporting, James Wilson, who advises on inter-state water issues, describes the panel’s inspections and the submissions as part of the ongoing review.
Across the two outlets, the emphasis is on the same procedural steps: the inspection sites covered within the Mullaperiyar complex and the inclusion of arguments from both states under the specified 2025 framework. No outcome or decision is reported in the available summaries.
