Rain wreaks havoc; Tourists stuck at Meenmutty Falls in Thiruvananthapuram

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The heavy rains have turned to their rogue side in Kerala as many tourists got trapped in the Kallar Meenmutty waterfalls on Sunday evening.

Around 20 vehicles are currently stuck on one side of the waterfalls as the water levels rose high near a ditch making it impossible for vehicles to cross the road to the other side. The creek that originates from the Meenmutty waterfalls is also overflowing.

Albeit no big rain in this region, the water levels started rising dangerously due to the rains that lashed during the previous night. As per reports, efforts are being made to help the tourists reach the other side of the waterfalls to safety. On another note, the Indian meteorological department warned about strong rainfall in Kerala for the next three hours.

The Indian Meteorological Department said there is a possibility of rain with thunder and lightning at isolated places in the Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Idukki, and Ernakulam districts.
