Manapparai received very heavy rain on Monday morning, after which an alert was issued
The Tiruchi District Collector has issued a flood warning for people living on the banks of the Ariyar and Koraiyar rivers following heavy rains in Manapparai on Monday morning.
Manapparai, located about 40 km from Tiruchi, received very heavy rainfall. The city recorded 274.6 mm of rain in three hours from 6 am to 9 am.
District Collector S. Shivarasu urged the people living along the rivers to exercise caution in view of the expected heavy discharge.
The Ariyar flows into the Koraiyar near Tiruchi, and flows into the Kaveri near the city via the Kudamuritti Canal. Heavy discharge in the two rivers had caused widespread flooding in low-lying residential colonies in Tiruchi last month.
