Summary:
By the time the bus reached Kadavanthra, the smoke was so intense that we couldn’t see the road properly. When the bus reached near South Railway Station, I noticed that the atmosphere was filled with smoke. In the afternoon, when the wind started blowing in the southwesterly direction, residents in Maradu and Tripunithura were at the receiving end. The scene changed further in the evening when the wind started to blow from west to east.People said they didn’t even venture out of their houses at night due to the smoke. Passengers travelling towards Vyttila said that they were unable to talk due to the smoke..
