Incessant rain and looming threat of landslips kept several villagers in the upland areas of north Kerala districts on their toes on Thursday. Following the intervention of disaster management authorities, many families, including those settled in the vulnerable coastal zones, were shifted to safer locations.
Kozhikode District Collector N. Tej Lohit Reddy on Thursday asked the residents living along the Kuttiyadi river to be cautious of the rising water level. “Spillway shutters will be opened if the water level in the reservoir is rising to the red-alert level,” said the Collector in an official communication.
