51,000 cusecs of water was released from two dams late at night

The unseasonal and unexpected rain that unprecedentedly lashes the district during this season has badly affected normal life in the district. To make things worse, heavy discharge of water from the overflowing dams triggered heavy flood in the Tamirabharani that entered the low-lying areas.
After 29,000 cusecs of water was released from the Papanasam and Manimuthar dams on Tuesday afternoon, the heavy rain that lashed the catchment areas of the reservoirs compelled the officials to release 51,000 cusecs of water from these two dams late in the night.
