The state of Kerala is witnessing massive rains since the onset of rainfall. Kerala will witness remarkably abundant rainfall in the coming days as a cyclone is being built in the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted. The Kerala Disaster Management Authority has alerted the public and the government machinery to get adapted to face any landslide, soil erosion and flood in low-lying areas and keep vigil. People living in disaster-prone areas of the districts where the red and orange warnings have been issued will be shifted to camps as a precautionary measure.
