This time, quiet flows the Periyar in Cheruthoni
The Hindu
Three of the five shutters of the Cheruthoni dam in Idukki were opened on Tuesday morning
It was a rather peaceful day in Cheruthoni town on Tuesday and the vehicles crossed the chappath (low-lying bridge) as usual. And quiet flew the Periyar under the bridge after three of the five shutters of the Cheruthoni dam were opened in the morning.
A day before, it was perhaps just a trickle in the river close to the downstream of the Idukki arch dam. When the three shutters of the dam of the Idukki reservoir were opened, the water smoothly flowed down to the Periyar close to the arch dam that was constructed to connect the Kuravan and the Kurathi hills.
