The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for eight districts in Kerala, including Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Idukki, and Kozhikode, due to intensified monsoon activity. An orange alert has been issued for six other districts like Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam. Heavy rains have triggered landslides in Idukki and disrupted normal life. Authorities have shut schools on May 30 and restricted night travel in high-range areas. Thunderstorms and strong winds are forecast for several northern states too. IMD urges the public to follow safety precautions and remain indoors during the adverse weather conditions. (PC: The Hindu)
