The resolution was passed at the special one-day session of the Assembly, seeking to formalise the political consensus in the state on the demand for a new dam in place of the 116-year-old structure.
Moving the submission on the issue at the outset, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy it was unfortunate that Tamil Nadu had not taken into due account the anxieties and fears of Kerala arising out of the existing dam, even in the backdrop of frequent tremors in the area.
He said Kerala had made it amply clear its neighbour would continue to get the same level of water even after a new dam is built and the state was keen to resolve the issue without in any way compromising its good relations with Tamil Nadu. Opposition Leader VS Achuthanandan supported the submission.
