The Namakkal District Collector, Shreya P. Singh, said that two teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) will arrive at the district on Thursday.
Following the release of 2.10 lakh cusecs of water from the Mettur dam, River Cauvery is flooded at Komarapalayam and Pallipalayam in Namakkal district. Flood water entered into hundreds of houses situated near the river at these two places. People are moving out of their homes with their belongings, to relief camps set up by the Namakkal district administration at wedding halls. As a precautionary measure, the old bridge connecting Namakkal and Erode districts at Pallipalayam was closed temporarily.
