The Irrigation department has initiated the process of opening shutters at the Thanneermukkom barrage. As of now, 21 out of the total 90 shutters have been opened, with the remaining expected to be opened gradually in the upcoming days. This action comes after delays in recent years, often attributed to late paddy harvest, much to the dissatisfaction of local fisherfolk and clam collectors.
