Heavy rains and flood-like situation has been prevailing over several parts of India, especially the southern states.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy rains in parts of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala for today and over the next few days.
This even prompted Kerala authorities to shut down educational institutes in flood-affected areas yesterday.
Residents in affected areas have been alerted and preparations are underway to evacuate them if such an emergency arises, authorities said.
