The stretch of the Periyar River which flows by the zone of Eloor-Edayar took on a red hue on
Monday and erupted in bubbles in some areas.
Local people claimed to have noticed the change of color upstream of the Pathalam regulator bridge that evening. The next morning, the rust-red colour was evident till the Pathalam Kadavu bridge, said a resident of Eloor, a local activist.
He observed the bubbles on the water a few meters upstream of the Pathalam regulator bridge.
“Yesterday, there was also some fish kill downstream of the bridge,” he said.
