Nanjangud: Even as the Kabini Dam here set a new record on Friday last by releasing 80,000 cusecs of water, which is the highest flow since the commissioning of the Dam in 1974, the Irrigation Department, in order to assess the flood damage in the taluk, had commissioned a private photographer to take drone photographs of the affected areas on Sunday.
The drone photos clearly captures the areas submerged including the Suttur Mutt in the taluk turning into an island. Meanwhile, the District Administration has sounded alert in the surrounding areas and taken all precautionary measures by deploying divers and boats near the Kapila River.
