Over 13,800 people have been provided shelter at 124 relief camps in the district. Low lying areas are inundated
Rains continued to wreak havoc in many parts of Kerala with northern hill district of Wayanad experiencing widespread landslides and flooding overnight, forcing thousands of people to take shelter at relief camps, officials said today.
Several people fled their homes yesterday due to landslides and land slips in the district part of Western Ghats. People living in the downstream have been shifted to relief camps.
Over 13,800 people have been provided shelter at 124 relief camps in the district. Low lying areas are inundated, officials said.
Many parts of northern Kerala districts including Kannur, Kasargod, Kozhikode, Malappuram and Palakad also witnessed rains last night.
Two shutters of Cheruthoni Dam part of Idukki reservoir were closed last evening.
The water level in the dam is receding further, alleviating apprehensions of the affected people living downstream, particularly in Ernakulam district.
However, water level in Mullaperiyar Dam rose to 136 ft, prompting authorities to sound caution.
