Hundreds killed, 30,000 stuck on rooftops in Kerala
Hundreds killed, 30,000 stuck on rooftops in Kerala
Well over 300 have been killed and more than 800,000 forced to flee to camps by widespread flooding in the south Indian state after nearly two weeks of heavy rain
August 20, 2018
After nine days of incessant rain, there has been little respite from heavy downpours in the south Indian state of Kerala. Moreover, the opening of some 80 dams, including five sluice gates of the Idukki Dam, Asia’s biggest arch dam, resulted in the Periyar and Pamba Rivers overflowing.
While the government has downgraded the alert announced in Kerala on August 9, weeks of heavy rain have caused unprecedented flooding.
Some described it as one of the worst deluges in a century. Many towns and cities were marooned – Munnar, Idukki, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Aluva, Kottayam and Alappuzha (formerly Allepey).
