Kerala Floods Updates: Death toll rises to 21; PM speaks to CM Vijayan

India TV News  

Kerala Floods Updates: Death toll rises to 21; PM speaks to CM Vijayan Several people have been injured and displaced in rain-related incidents in the southern state where dams in many districts are nearing its full capacity and small towns and villages in the hilly areas are totally cut off from the outside world. Heavy rains pounding south and central Kerala causing flash floods and landslides in many parts have claimed many lives in the state, prompting the state government to seek the assistance of the defence forces for rescue operations. In one of the heavy rains in recent years, the high ranges of central and south Kerala are experiencing almost similar to that of the situation the state faced during the time of devastating floods of 2018 and 2019 but authorities said everything was under control and there was no need for any panic. Idukki district collector Sheeba George said rescue efforts were affected due to the subsequent landslips which happened in the area late in the evening.
