Kerala Issues Rain Alerts Amid Heavy Downpours, Flooding, and Landslides
Kerala experienced heavy rainfall from a slow-moving low-pressure system, prompting the India Meteorological Department to issue red and orange alerts for multiple districts. Rainfall exceeded 300 mm in some areas, causing flooding, landslides, and damage to homes. Several dams opened shutters due to rising water levels, with authorities advising residents near rivers and dams to stay alert and relocate if necessary. The Kerala State Disaster Management Authority urged caution, postponed exams, and deployed emergency forces to vulnerable regions as floodwaters persisted in low-lying areas.
