Flood alert in northern areas of city
The Tiruvallur district administration on Sunday decided to release water from Poondi reservoir, leading to flood alert in northern parts of the city.
In a tweet on Sunday, Tiruvallur Collector Alby John Varghese said: “1,000 cusecs of water to be released from Poondi reservoir from 2 p.m. today. This is being done as a precautionary measure and the people living in low-lying areas on the banks of the Kosasthalaiyar river are requested to be on alert.”
Dr. Varghese told The Hindu that the water was released because of rains in Andhra Pradesh and good inflow from Nagari river into Poondi reservoir which was already full.
