Red alert issued as the water-level in Idamalayar dam has swelled. KSEB has informed that the shutter gates of Idamalayar dam will be opened at 6 AM tomorrow. People living on the banks of river Periyar must exercise caution. However this is no cause for panic. 
If the water-level rises up to 170 m before 6 am tomorrow (9-8-2018), then one shutter will be operated to release 82 cumecs of water. The increase in water level from this release will be limited and is estimated to be contained within the river banks.
The Ernakulam district collector has informed that all necessary preparations have been made. Updates will be provided through his facebook page, facebook.com/dcekm/
