It follows increased inflow into the Periyar after the opening of Mullaperiyar dam and heavy rainfall since Wednesday night
The third shutter of the Cheruthoni dam at the Idukki reservoir was opened at 10 a.m. on Thursday in the wake of increased inflow into the Periyar after the opening of the Mullaperiyar dam and heavy rainfall since Wednesday night.
Earlier, Idukki District Collector Sheeba George had said that the Cheruthoni shutter would be raised to 40 cm to 1 metre to release around 40 cumecs of water. Those living close to the river bank should take precautionary measures.
Fishing in the river and tourism activities have been banned. The Collector said that people should not cross or take bath in the river.
