Let us pray for the People of Kerala

 Chengannur and Kuttanad taluks in Alappuzha district have been isolated following the heavy rains and flood. The rescue and evacuation of people have been going on in these places from Wednesday evening. The district administration officials informed that they did not know the number of people who had already been evacuated.

 Five persons were killed in a landslide in Palakkad district of Kerala on Thursday even as torrential rains led to the collapse of the public transport system in many parts of the state with the southern Railways and Kochi Metro suspending operations.

 At present 52 teams of central forces including Navy, Army, Air Force and Coast Guard are involved in the rescue operations.
