Mullaperiyar: Magicians in the frontline with solidarity


Vandipperiyar: People of different districts, including the well known cine artist Suresh Krishna, were being washed away in a torrent ended in a fraction of moment. A magical scene in Magician Gopinath Muthukad astonished the mass in Vandipperiyar. The magic titled ‘Jala’pravaaham which later literarily turned to a ‘Jana’pravaaham was the key magic performance on this subject to raise the solidarity and concerns, where he has made them re-appear as a hope to the people by unity and appropriate action.

Magicians’ might to wipe out societal woes was proved once more, this time, over Mullaperiyar that is already a national issue that has put over thirty lakhs of people under the fear of an approaching disaster. The magic was to fuse the emotions and anxieties of people in Idukki and other three districts and intended to convey the message that a dam failure will result in a heavy havoc.

Representing the four districts, platforms at four levels designed and more than twenty people including the cine artist Suresh Krishna represented the people. The performance is aimed to convey that ‘preventing a calamity is better than cure’.

Mullaperiyar dam, which is located in Kerala but is controlled and used by Tamil Nadu, has long been a source of much acrimony. The dam controversy has been extended and affected to the harmony of two key states where the mutual bondage and support is under difficulty.
