The death toll in the Kerala floods has crossed 200 in the past 10 days, and to 357 overall this monsoon season, chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan said, calling it a ‘grave’ situation.
The India Meteorological Department forecast widespread rains, with heavy rains at isolated places, is likely to continue over Kerala in the next 24 hours.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Kerala to take stock of the situation. The Prime Minister, who conducted an aerial survey earlier today to assess the damage, also held a high-level meeting and announced an interim relief of Rs 500 crores. However, Vijayan has sought an emergency relief of Rs 2,500 crore from the Centre saying Kerala has suffered losses of Rs 25,000 crore.
