Idukki Dam opened. The three shutters of the dam are open. The water first flowed into the small boat. Subsequent shutters were opened one by one after monitoring the water level in Cheruthoni town. The second shutter of the Idukki Dam was opened at 12 noon and the next shutter at 12.30 pm.
Each shutter is raised only 35 cm. With this, the total amount of water discharged increased to more than one lakh cubic feet. The dam is opening for the first time since the 2018 floods.
