IDUKKI: The water level in the Mullaperiyar dam is rising to 138 feet. The flow of water to the dam is less due to less rainfall in the catchment area. The water level flowing into the dam has dropped to 2496 cubic feet. Tamil Nadu is releasing 2200 cubic feet of water to the Vaiga dam.

Meanwhile, the police denied permission to Dean Kuriakose MP to visit the dam. Dean said that he had obtained permission from Tamil Nadu to visit the dam. However, the police explained that the permission was denied as it was a special security zone.
