Severe floods in Kerala’s Kottayam district have forced authorities to relocate more than 3,700 people to relief camps. The flooding follows heavy monsoon rains, which persist across several parts of the district. Many localities remain submerged, making rescue and relief work challenging.
Officials have confirmed that relief camps are providing necessary aid, including shelter and food, to displaced families. Continuous monitoring by the district administration aims to mitigate further risks as water levels remain high in vulnerable areas.
The Kerala government has mobilised disaster response teams and coordinated with local agencies to support affected communities. Efforts focus on ensuring the safety and well-being of residents until floodwaters recede and normalcy returns.
