400 dead. Crores lost. The cost of the Kerala floods

Live Mint  

New Delhi: Battered by torrential rains, Kerala is witnessing the worst floods in a century. The second spell of monsoon fury since 8 August worsened the situation, as heavy rains for days compelled the administration to open the shutters of the dams, which led to flooding, leaving low-lying areas submerged. The India Meteorological Department said Idukki and Palakkad districts have recorded excess rains of 93% and 73%, respectively. It discharged 750,000 litres of water per second, sweeping away vast tracts of land. Thousands of Army, Navy and Air Force troops, along with teams of the National Disaster Relief Force and the Coast Guard, are working round the clock to evacuate people.
