In Kerala, persistent heavy rains have severely disrupted normal life, affecting transportation and causing widespread flooding. Public transportation has been hit hard, with trains like the Thiruvananthapuram-bound Vande Bharat and Parasuram Express experiencing significant delays due to waterlogged tracks and fallen debris.
Northern districts faced particular challenges, including an electric line collapse on the Kozhikode-Areekode track. Authorities and local residents reported that rivers continue to swell, submerging homes, particularly in the Wayanad district, prompting evacuations to relief camps.
The India Meteorological Department issued an orange alert, forecasting heavy rains across several districts and triggering safety warnings and protests over power outages. The ongoing deluge has destroyed 607 homes and continues to pose significant safety risks across the region.
