Flooding Puts Kerala In Crisis

Many parts of Kerala were grappling with a looming crisis on Friday as a heavy rainfall warning and tidal flooding alert looked set to compound the  worsening flood situation in the State.

The State Disaster Management Authority issued a red alert for eight districts following a heavy rainfall warning by the weather of­ fice. The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services has also issued a tidal flooding alert for Kerala from August 11 to 15. 

Evacuation planned

Idukki and Ernakulam districts were put on high alert and the administration began preparations to evacuate families in anticipation of a flood situation following the decision to raise the shutters of the Cheruthoni dam to release excess water from the Idukki reservoir.

Over 6,500 families were expected to be evacuated from the downstream areas of the Periyar river up to Aluva in Ernakulam.
