Farmers forced to abandon crops with harvesters getting stuck in the fields
Heavy rains that lashed the region over the past couple of days and an increase in flow of floodwaters from the eastern side have inundated several low-lying areas in Alappuzha district.
The district administration on Saturday opened a relief camp at Venmony in Chengannur and shifted 20 people from six families there. Officials said more relief camps would be opened in the taluk as floodwaters had entered several houses.
