RANNI: Security lapse at Perunthenaruvi dam as anonymous people opened the shutters of the dam for one hour. Water flowed down at force for around 45 minutes. The incident was around 10 p.m. on Tuesday. Police and the KSEB officials later closed the shutter after locals informed them. Nobody is arrested on the incident.

Roy, a resident nearby the dam was the first to hear the sound of the river. A major disaster was evaded because the water level was low in the dam. It’s difficult to open the shutters of the dam as it is a high-security area. The police and KSEB haven’t yet given a clear reply on who did this.
