Kerala rains: Water level of major rivers in Ernakulam crosses warning mark
District administration issues alert to people living along Muvattupuzha, Thodupuzha and Kaliyar rivers as water levels continued to rise
Kerala's Ernakulam district is grappling with rising water levels in major rivers following heavy rains over the weekend. The Muvattupuzha, Thodupuzha, and Kaliyar rivers have all surpassed their warning marks, with the Muvattupuzha River reaching 12.42 meters and the Kaliyar at 13.41 meters. The district administration has issued an alert to residents living along these rivers, while the Manikandanchal causeway, a crucial connection between tribal hamlets and the mainland, has been submerged due to the heavy downpour. The Periyar River, however, remains below the warning level.
