The waterlogging woes continued unabated in several parts of the Kuttanad and Upper Kuttanad regions on Thursday.
Although the intensity of the rain subsided, the flow of floodwaters from the eastern side inundated low-lying areas. With all major rivers flowing in full spate, the water levels remain above the danger level at Nedumudi, Mankombu, Champakulam, Kavalam, Neerettupuram, Pallipad, and Veeyapuram.
District Collector V.R. Krishna Teja has urged the people living along the banks of the Pampa, Manimala and Achencoil rivers to exercise caution. “The water level is on the rise in the rivers and Kakki-Anathode reservoir in Pathanamthitta. The catchment area of the reservoir is receiving heavy rainfall and there is a possibility of the opening of the sluice gates,” Mr. Teja said.
