    The Tamil Nadu government defended the Mullaperiyar dam panel in the Supreme Court, arguing that the Supervisory Committee had not abdicated its duties nor delegated its powers to a sub-committee. The state explained that the sub-committee, chaired by the Central Water Commission, periodically inspects the dam, collects data on water levels and quality, and reports this information to the Supervisory Committee every two months or as directed. Tamil Nadu also said it informs downstream authorities before releasing water from the dam.
