Tamil Nadu was all for an amicable solution on the Mullaperiyar issue to ensure that farmers of the state's southern districts got the required water for irrigation and drinking needs, CM M Karunanidhi reiterated soon after his arrival from Delhi this evening. "We are not questioning why Kerala brought in the Amendment Bill to nullify the February 27 Supreme Court order authorising the raising of water level at the Mullaperiyar dam from 136 to 142 feet and permitting its further strengthening. We are only concerned about our farmers getting water.
