A 10-day-old infant was rescued by an Indian Coast Guard from a flooded house in East Kadangaloor in Kerala. After three days of torrential rains that flooded almost the whole of Kerala, the weather cleared up a little on Saturday. This allowed the authorities to limit the red alert to just three of the 14 districts in the state.

The weather department’s prediction that conditions should normalise by Sunday came as a welcome relief for the people. Officials, for their part, said that all the marooned people are likely to be rescued in the next 24 hours.
