Soon all parts of Kerala will come under the surveillance of the Doppler Weather Radars (DWRs) with the Centre approving a proposal for procuring two radars, one each for Kozhikode and Mangaluru.
An X-Band radar with an observation range of 100 km will be installed in Kozhikode while a C-Band radar with an observational range of 250 km will be installed in Mangaluru.
Though south and central Kerala were brought under radar coverage, the State has been demanding a permanent weather radar in north Kerala for long.
