Recent summer rains have rejuvenated the Velliyar river, which had dried up due to intense heat. Flowing through Palakkad and Malappuram districts, the river is a primary water source for Mannarkkad, Alanallur, Melattur, and Keezhattur panchayats. The increase in water levels provides significant relief to drinking water projects and agriculture, which were suffering as temporary dams dried up and well water levels plummeted. https://www.mathrubhumi.com/malappuram/news/localnews-malappuram-17256539- #creator program
