The incessant downpours continued to wreak havoc in Kottayam for the third consecutive day on Tuesday, bringing normal life to a halt across the region.
The people of Kottayam woke up to reports of yet another wave of floods taking shape in the high ranges owing to the incessant rain overnight, which triggered a major landslip near the Marmala waterfalls on the upstream of the Meenachil river. The horror, however, did not come true as the water level in the waterbody, which rose sharply during the early hours of the day, receded soon.
Water level in major rivers across the region, however, remained well above the warning level throughout the day, inundating low-lying parts along the riverbanks.
