Though no major casualties were reported anywhere in the state, normal life was affected in many places due to continuous rains accompanied by gusty winds since last night and intense waterlogging.
Incessant heavy rains lashed several parts of Kerala, flooding low-lying areas and causing traffic snarls on Friday, prompting authorities to sound an alert for the hilly regions and coastal areas across the state.
Though no major casualties were reported anywhere in the state, normal life was affected in many places due to continuous rains accompanied by gusty winds since last night and intense waterlogging.
Shutters of some dams including Peppara and Neyyar Dams near the state capital were raised following a rise in the water level, and fishermen were directed not to venture into the sea due to inclement weather and rough sea, authorities here said.
