Incessant rainfall has battered several states with landslips and floods, throwing normal life out of gear. Among the worst affected are Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. At least 28 people have died over the past three days in rain-related incidents in Kerala, which is again at the receiving end of nature's fury. Meanwhile, 40 people are feared trapped under debris in major landslides in Wayanad and Malappuram. Rail, road and air transport have taken a hit in the state with several trains being cancelled. In Maharashtra, over 2.85 lakh people have been evacuated due to the devastating floods in five districts in the western part, including the worst-hit Sangli and Kolhapur, with the death toll reaching 29 on Friday. The region is being pummeled by rain over the last few days, and major rivers, including the Krishna and Panchaganga, are in spate. In Karnataka, 12 people have died in rain-related incidents. The floods and rains have left a trail of destruction in vast areas of north, coastal and Malnad districts of the state.
