Heavy rain lashes Erode district
Heavy rain lashed many parts of the district on Friday morning. The downpour disrupted normal life in the hilly areas of the district.
Talavadi, Bargur and Sathyamangalam received over 50 mm rainfall resulting in flood water submerging low-level bridges at many places. Many check dams that had gone dry in the past eight months received flood water and a few check dams in Talavadi were overflowing.
In Talavadi, movement of people was disrupted due to the submerging of bridges. Water stagnation was reported in many agricultural lands in the hill areas and interior roads were also damaged. Officials said that the storage level in the water bodies had increased due to the rain.
The inflow at Bhavanisagar Dam was 3,656 cusecs while the outflow was 150 cusecs for drinking water. The storage was 9.107 tmc ft.
