After being on edge for the last few days, the flood threat appeared to be easing in the Upper Kuttanad and Kuttanad regions on Saturday.
Though water levels remained above the danger level at Pallathuruthy, Nedumudi, Mankombu, Champakulam, Kavalam, Neerettupuram, Pallipad and Veeyapuram, floodwaters had started receding, albeit slowly, from some of the places. Several houses, shops and roads, including parts of the Alappuzha-Changanassery (AC) road, remain inundated.
Meanwhile, the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) resumed bus services through the Ambalappuzha-Thiruvalla State highway following a gradual decrease in waterlogging at Nedumbram.
