The net inflow of water in the last six years of Cheruthoni dam showed negative. Five gates of the dam are still kept open with two gates raised to one metre. The intensity is still below the level despite the rains continuing. Most of the fishermen have been warned against venturing into the sea.
On Sunday, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) had warned that heavy rains were expected in 16 states including Kerala. With one more gate of the Pamba dam opening last night the focus of the government is shifted to Kuttanadt.
