Mysuru: Over 40,000 cusecs of water from Kabini Dam has been released after the water level in the dam increased by 46,000 cusecs.

Though the maximum water level can reach till 2,284 feet, currently the water level in the dam is 2,281.5 feet.

On Wednesday people living downstream of Kabini reservoir had been cautioned of a surge in water release. This is owing to heavy rains in the catchment area of the river and the consequent increase in the inflow to the reservoir.

The inflow as on Wednesday morning was at the rate of 18,400 cusecs which increased to 23,000 by evening. Water level was at 2,278 feet against the FRL of 2,284 feet. Cauvery Neeravari Nigama Ltd. said the dam is expected to fill up in the next few days. Crest gates will be opened to maintain the balance. People living in low-lying areas on either side have been advised to relocate.

On the other hand, all schools, colleges and Anganwadi centres in the Kodagu district have been closed for two days as rain continues to wreak havoc in the region.

The district administration gave the directions after Indian Meteorological Department issued ‘Red Alert’ in Kodagu for the next 48 hours.
