No power for two days as many electric poles have been uprooted
The widespread rainfall in Kanniyakumari district since October 14 has claimed three lives so far. Many low-lying areas are inundated, with 23 villages across the district under water and no power for the last two days as many poles have been uprooted.
Rescue operations started in full swing on Sunday morning after there was some relief when the rain stopped for a few hours, officials said. Residents from 40 villages were safely moved to relief camps.
