The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Floodwaters began receding in Pathanamthitta district, Kerala, on Sunday, with water levels dropping in the Pamba, Achankovil and Manimala rivers and residents in Ranni and Aranmula starting to return home and begin recovery.
- However, runoff from the upper reaches flowed into low-lying Upper Kuttanad, where rising waters triggered large-scale evacuations and submerged a stretch of the Thiruvalla–Ambalappuzha State Highway, forcing KSRTC to curtail services.
- As of Sunday evening, 95 relief camps in the district were sheltering 3,568 people, and preliminary estimates put 42 houses partially damaged and one fully damaged.
- The District Collector declared a holiday for educational institutions on Monday, and the Travancore Devaswom Board advised Sabarimala pilgrims to be cautious.
What to watch next
