Q. Chaliyar River, recently seen in news, originates from which hills?
Answer: Elambalari Hills
Notes: Heavy rainfall in Kerala's Wayanad region triggered landslides and rescue operations along the 169 km Chaliyar River. Originating from the Elambalari Hills in Tamil Nadu, the river passes through Malappuram and Kozhikode districts and drains into the Arabian Sea at Beypore port. Historically vital for timber transport and known for goldfields, the river has faced significant pollution from a pulp factory at Mavoor.
