Relentless downpour disrupted train services, triggered landslides, submerged bridges, and displaced 240 people as Kerala recorded 243.6 mm rainfall over 4 days
Heavy rains continued to wreak havoc across the state on Tuesday, claiming one life and causing widespread destruction. A 16-year-old boy in Thoroorangadi, Malappuram, died after accidentally coming in contact with a snapped live wire. Train services, including the Vande Bharat Express, were disrupted due to trees falling on the tracks.
In Kozhikode, the Kakkayam power house sustained significant damage when a landslide dislodged a massive boulder that crashed into the facility. Over the past four days, the state recorded an average rainfall of 243.6 mm, with Kannur and Kozhikode receiving the highest amounts—387 mm and 381 mm, respectively.
