Possibility for heavy rain, exercise caution: CM Vijayan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said that the Indian Meteorological Department has forecast isolated heavy rains in Kerala in the coming days.

He directed the government agencies to make preparations. Avoid bathing in rivers and other bodies of water. Do not go to sea for fishing until July 18. Coastal dwellers and concerned government agencies should remain vigilant as there is a risk of rough seas.
