Rescue nears completion in Alappuzha

The Hindu  

Government officials coordinating rescue operations said that while the vast majority of those who had been stranded in their homes in Chengannur have been rescued, some people are refusing to move out. In a situation update issued at 12.05 a.m. on Monday, the officials said that as of Sunday late evening 2.25 lakh people had been rescued from Alappuzha district. Since these people were sending distress messages for food packets, boats would be sent again to shift them to camps in Alappuzha. All entry points into Kuttanad have been blocked and the Kerala State Water Transport authorities have been ordered to stop ferrying people from Alappuzha to Kuttanad.
