Floods and landslide in Kerala kill two, injure eight

At least two people were killed and eight others injured after torrential rain caused flash flooding in the affected area on Tuesday. Emergency services responded quickly, deploying rescue teams and medical personnel to the inundated neighborhoods where water levels rose rapidly, submerging roads and homes. Local authorities confirmed that the heavy downpours, which began in the early morning, overwhelmed drainage systems and forced several residents to evacuate on foot as vehicles became stranded.

Rescue crews continued to search for additional victims while providing treatment to the injured at nearby hospitals. Officials urged residents to avoid low‑lying zones and to follow safety advisories as the weather remains unsettled. An investigation into the flood’s causes and the adequacy of infrastructure is underway, with authorities promising updates as more information becomes available.
