Relief camps shut in Kerala’s Ernakulam as rain situation eases

The Hindu reports that relief camps in Kerala's Ernakulam district have been shut as the rain situation improves following a period of heavy downpour. The Eastern parts of the district received only light spells of rain on Friday, helping to ease the conditions in several areas, including tribal spots around Pooyamkutty river. The India Meteorological Department had issued a red alert for the district until 10 a.m. on Friday, but this was later revised to orange and then to yellow as the weather conditions improved.

The water level in the Muvattupuzha river, which had remained above the warning level, also receded, providing further relief to areas along its banks. However, officials continue to monitor water levels and weather conditions, particularly in the eastern parts of the district, as the district remains prepared to face any adverse situation.
