TAMIL Nadu Rural Development Minister I Periyasamy on Tuesday ruffled feathers in Kerala after he asserted that water level in the Mullaperiyar dam will be raised to 152 feet. "The DMK government will make this dream of Tamil Nadu a reality," Periyasamy told reporters after assessing the rain damage in TN's Theni district. He also said the TN government will take every measure to keep the dam safe and will not give a "single piece of earth" in Mullaperiyar to Kerala.
