Entry to beaches in Kannur blocked due to heavy rain

With heavy rain lashing Kannur, the District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) has banned entry of visitors to beaches.

DTPC secretary K.K. Jijesh said boards had been erected informing people not to visit beaches until further orders in the wake of a warning from the District Disaster Management Authority.

Residents of coastal areas have been advised to remain cautious as there is a possibility of high waves.

With the monsoon gaining strength, the district experienced 155.5 mm rainfall in catchment areas.
