Kochi, Sep 24: The MeT department has predicted heavy rainfall in five districts of Kerala between September 25-26 and has issued a yellow alert as heavy rainfall is expected over next two days.

The office of chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan in a tweet said, “Yellow alert has been issued for Pathanamthitta, Idukki and Wayanad districts for September 25. In addition, a yellow alert has been issued for Palakkad, Idukki, Thrissur and Wayanad districts for September 26,”

The Kerala CMO has also instructed the State Disaster Management Authority and district authorities to be on alert and take necessary precautions. The hilly district of Idukki, home to the largest arch dam in Asia and whose shutters were opened after 26 years on August 9, bore the brunt of the flood fury with the maximum number of deaths.


The alert comes a month after devastating rains and floods that wreaked havoc in Kerala, killing 488 people.

A joint team from the Centre and World Bank is presently in the state for a post-flood safety audit of 28 dams in the state. The Kerala government has sent a detailed memorandum to the Centre, seeking Rs 4,700 crore as compensation for the damages.

    We do not whether he is a sinner or not?. God will not punish entire state for single mans sins. Everybody should check their conscience, seek pardon and seek mercy.
