1.6L cusecs released from Mukkombu, Tiruchy on alert
TIRUCHY: With the quantum of discharge from the Mettur dam increased to 1.75 lakh cusecs on Thursday evening, the excess water at the Mukkombu barrage in Tiruchy has been released into the Kollidam and Cauvery rivers at a rate of 98,120 cusecs and 34,611 cusecs respectively. With the inflow expected to rise by another 40,000 cusecs by night, excess water will be discharged into the Kollidam, as the quantum released into the Cauvery cannot be increased further, an official from PWD told TNIE. Meanwhile, the water released washed away a portion of the bed wall approximately stretching to 35 feet constructed by the state highways department across the the Kollidam. Tense moments also prevailed when one of the pillars of an extra high-tension transmission tower erected on the bed of Kollidam, beside a bridge, leaned precariously in the strong currents.
