Kozhikode: Two deaths, 808 in camps
Flooding has sadly claimed two lives this season, most recently a 38-year-old man from Peruvayal.
808 people from 327 families are now staying in relief camps across the district, with many areas like Moozhikkal and Kannadikkal still underwater.
Landslides and road accidents have made travel tough, but local authorities are working hard to keep everyone safe.
