Thiruvananthapuram has been put on red alert on Saturday with heavy rainfall continuing to batter the district. The IMD, in a 1 p.m. update, has indicated the possibility of extremely heavy rainfall (above 20 cm in 24 hours) in the southern district.
Heavy rainfall had been lashing the hilly regions of Thiruvananthapuram since Friday night. The shutters of the three dams in the district - Neyyar, Peppara and Aruvikkara - are in a raised position. Low lying areas and coastal areas have reported heavy waterlogging.
