Toll rises to 156; 12 more NDRF teams rushed; Navy begins airlifting the marooned
With 91 persons killed in rainrelated incidents on Thursday, the toll in the recent rain and flÂood-related incidents across Kerala rose to 156. More than 1.5 lakh people have been shifted to 1,200 relief camps.
Twelve additional National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams, comprising about 540 personnel, are being rushed to the State, in addition to the 18 teams already deployed, apart from contingents of the Army, the Navy and the Air Force. A further 23 NDRF teams will be deployed in the coming days, NDRF Director General Sanjay Kumar said.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh earlier in the day seeking more Central assistance, said the flÂood situation was “extremely grave.”
“This sort of a situation has never been faced by the State. Areas where flÂoods had never occurred are witnessing inundation,” he said.
