There is a red alert in various districts of Kerala due to the projected heavy rainfall brought on by the south-west monsoon.
Four dams had their shutters opened earlier because of the severe rain. Numerous aid camps have been established by the state government all around the state.
On the morning of July 19, two shutters of the Malankara dam in Idukki, nine shutters of Bhuthathankettu in the Ernakulam district, and one shutter of each of the Kallarkutty and Pamba dams were opened in order to control the rising water, which is approaching its maximum capacity due to heavy rainfall.
