Despite the intensity of the rain decreasing, waterlogging woes continued unabated in upper Kuttanad and parts of Kuttanad due to a significant rise in water levels in various rivers in the region on Thursday.
An increase in flow of floodwaters from the eastern side inundated a large number of houses forcing people from Thalavady, Muttar, Ramankary, Mankombu, Pulinkunnu and other areas to shift to safer places. Water levels in all major rivers in the region, including the Pampa, Achencoil and Manimala, remained above the danger level on the day.
