Kerala battles heavy rainfall: Widespread disruption reported

India

Kerala faced a tough Sunday with non-stop heavy rain disrupting daily life across several districts. The IMD issued a Red Alert, and all schools and colleges in Kannur will stay closed on June 16. The downpour has caused flooding, fallen trees, and mudslides in hilly areas.

Uprooted trees blocked roads in Wayanad and Kottayam

A mudslide in Malappuram damaged a house, but thankfully the family got out safely. Uprooted trees blocked roads in Wayanad and Kottayam before emergency teams cleared them. In Kasaragod, parked vehicles were hit by a falling tree. Meanwhile, rising water at Neyyar Dam led to all four shutters being opened; people living nearby have been asked to stay alert as more rain is expected.
