IDUKKI: In the wake of heavy rains in the state, a 55-year-old resident, Roy, met with a fatal accident as his house collapsed in Thankanpara Cheriyar, Idukki. Roy, who lived alone, tragically lost his life in the incident.

Furthermore, a significant landslide struck Shantanpara last night, leading to damage to two houses. Fortunately, the occupants of these houses have been relocated, with no reported injuries at present. The landslide also caused considerable harm to the neighbouring farmlands. The landslide event took place in the Pethotti Dalam area, leading to road blockage when a tree fell in Shantanpara. However, the fire force and revenue officials resulted in the removal of the obstruction and the restoration of traffic flow.
