Amidst concerns over the rising water level in Kuttanad caused by downpours and an increase in flow of water from the eastern side, the Alappuzha district administration has decided to regulate the functioning of 10 shutters of the Thanneermukkom bund.
Officials of the Irrigation department said on Wednesday that the shutters would be opened and closed according to high and low tides from April 7 to 12.
District Collector Renu Raj urged fishers to immediately shift fishing vessels and nets from both sides of the shutters.
