Death toll rises in landslides in Wayanad’s Mundakai town and Churalmala. Two of the dead so far are children. More than 500 people are trapped in various places after the bridges were washed away in the mountain flood. Meanwhile, the rescue operation is going on.
In the wake of the landslide, restrictions have been imposed on the Thamarassery pass except for essential vehicles.
