The bodies of three people, including a two-and-half-year-old child, who were washed away in the flash flood and the landslip caused by heavy rain in Iritty taluk in Kannur, were recovered after search operations on Tuesday.
The child went missing in the flood in the Kanichar’s Kolakkad Nitumpuram canal during heavy rain that have been lashing the hilly regions of Kannur since Monday night.
The body of Numa Tasleem, daughter of Samir and Nadira who are staying near the Kolakkad Family Welfare Centre, was recovered on Tuesday morning. The child had gone missing on Monday night after she slipped from her mother’s hand and fell into the floodwaters while they were running back to the house on hearing the sound of roaring waters.
