Udhagamandalam: The district administration decided to release water from Pykara dam, located near Ooty, from Thursday night after water level touched 95feet.
Water from the dam will reach Moyar River via Glenmorgan, Singara and Masinagudi. In turn, Moyar River joins Bhavani River at Mettupalayam
Water level has been rising due to incessant rain in the hills. The residents of Pykara, Singara, Glenmorgan and Masinagudi areas were requested not to venture near fringe areas of the dam and Moyar River beds during night hours. tnn
