Intense rainfall in Kerala's Kasaragod district has triggered multiple landslips, disrupting roads and threatening local communities.
Heavy rainfall in the Kasaragod district of Kerala has caused several landslips across the region. The sudden downpour led to soil erosion on hilly slopes, resulting in road blockages and damage to nearby properties.
Local residents reported that the landslips occurred in the early hours, leaving several families stranded and hindering emergency response efforts. Authorities have deployed teams to assess the extent of the damage and to clear debris from major thoroughfares.
The Kerala State Disaster Management Authority has issued advisories for residents in affected areas to stay away from unstable slopes and to follow instructions from local officials. No casualties have been reported to date, but the situation remains fluid as rainfall continues.
Officials are monitoring weather forecasts closely and are prepared to mobilize additional resources if further rainfall threatens additional landslips.
