Bodies found as floods recede in Kerala, death toll rises to 400

Live Mint  

Kochi: Receding flood waters left Indian troops and rescuers the grim task Monday of hunting for bodies left by the worst monsoon in a century in Kerala as the death toll rose above 400. With nearly three quarters of a million people packed into relief camps in the southern state, known for its tourist beaches and hill resorts, authorities also fear outbreaks of disease. At least 30 bodies were also found taking the death toll above 200 since the torrential rain started falling on 8 August and more than 400 since the monsoon started in June. Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the priority now was to provide clean drinking water and restore power supplies to the state of 33 million people.
