After severe floods in Pala on August 7 and August 8 Kottayam district in Kerala was cut off. On August 9, after night-long rains lashed different parts of Kottayam district, several places including Pala, have been waterlogged.
Reports say that the floods in Pala are more severe than what the region witnessed in 2018.
“The condition is more severe in Kottayam Taluk. More camps have also been opened here. If the rain continues, the situation may worsen,” Kottayam Collector M Anjana.
The streams attached to Meenachil river were also overflowing on the roads in Kottayam, which caused the accident. Most roads in the district are submerged and vehicles are not being allowed to pass. Moreover, hundreds of acres of cultivated land have also been destroyed in the rains and floods.
