Idukki : In Idukki, the District Collector instructed cautionary measures in areas with likelihood for landslides, mud-slips and soil piping. The estate owners at these places were directed to halt works altogether to avert potential disaster.
All work under the Employment Guarantee Scheme, road construction, etc are prohibited until the Orange and Red Alerts for the region are lifted. Relief and rescue are the only form of activity allowed in these stretches currently.
