Heavy rain across Kerala has caused deaths, missing persons and widespread flooding, with relief efforts under way. Indian news reports give conflicting figures for the casualties. The Times of India and NDTV say 15 people have died and seven are missing in rain-related incidents across the state. The Hindustan Times, however, reports eight dead and eight missing. The Hindustan Times also says more than 5,700 people have been shifted to relief camps as floodwaters continue to inundate several towns, despite some easing of rainfall. The other reports did not provide a count of those moved to shelters. Authorities have been carrying out rescue and relief operations, but no further details were immediately available.
