Tamil Nadu Towns Warned as Dam Water Raises River
Tiruvannamalai Collector Vandhana Garg has warned people in Cheyyar, Arani, Vandavasi and Polur towns not to cross the Kamandalam Naganathi river. Water is being released from the Shenbagathoppu dam because of rain, and the flow in the river is rising. The warning covers four towns along the river, where the water level is going up.
