Kerala's most savage monsoon in a century has killed over 300 people while over two lakh people have been displaced in the last nine days.
Hundreds of thousands have been shifted to relief camps as nearly 100 dams, reservoirs and rivers have overflowed.
Authorities warned of more torrential rain and strong winds over the weekend, as hundreds of troops and local fishermen staged desperate rescue attempts in helicopters and boats across the southern state.
