The Kuttanad and Upper Kuttanad regions have been put on alert in view of heavy rain and an increase in flow of floodwaters from the eastern side.
District Collector Sriram Venkitaraman on Monday urged the people living along the banks of the Pampa and Manimala rivers to exercise caution. “The rivers are flowing above the danger level following torrential downpours in Pathanamthitta district. The water level in Kuttanad and Upper Kuttanad is likely to increase sharply,” said Mr. Venkitaraman, who is also the chairman of the District Disaster Management Authority.
