CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Public Works Department has sounded an alert to people living on the banks of the Cauvery as water level in Mettur reservoir reached 119.15 feet on Sunday evening, as against the full reservoir level of 120 feet.

Official sources said the outflow would be stepped up to 1.3 lakh cusecs from 75,000 cusecs.

People living close to the banks of the Cauvery have been advised to move to safer places.

"The district collectors have been told to advise people to refrain from bathing and washing in the river due to heavy flows," a senior official said.

From the upper anicut, flood waters would be diverted to the Kollidam river. All the districts through which the Kollidam flows have been asked to be on alert.

The inflow into the reservoir from Karnataka is 1.3 lakh cusecs (cubic feet per second). The Siddharamaiah government has been maintaining the surplus outflow at 1.35 lakh cusecs since the reservoirs in Karnataka are brimming with water following good rains in the catchments.

According to sources, it is expected that the current inflow into the Mettur reservoir would continue for the next 36 hours or more.
