Mysuru: The Kattemalalavadi Dam in Hunsur taluk built across River Lakshmanatheertha that flows from Kodagu is overflowing and it has become a picnic spot now, thanks to the increase in the water flow.
Heavy rains in South Kodagu like Ponnampet, Kutta, Nagarahole, Balele, Nittor and surrounding areas have increased the water flow. Usually, the Kattemalalavadi Dam gets filled up in the first week of June as monsoon picks up pace in Kodagu. This year, however, the dam has been filled to the brim in the second week of July.
