Continuous heavy rainfall in and around Kumily has triggered landslides and flooding, causing major disruption to daily life. Several interior roads were blocked after soil, rocks, and debris slid onto roadways, affecting traffic movement and connectivity to nearby areas.
Low-lying regions experienced waterlogging, while strong rainwater flow damaged road surfaces and drainage systems. Vehicles were stranded for hours as authorities temporarily restricted traffic in landslide-prone zones as a precautionary measure.
Officials from the revenue and disaster management departments visited affected locations to assess the damage. Earth-moving machinery was deployed to clear debris and restore road access. No casualties have been reported so far, but authorities confirmed minor property damage in some areas.
The district administration has issued a weather alert, warning residents to remain cautious, especially those living near hill slopes, streams, and vulnerable regions. People have been advised to avoid non-essential travel during heavy rainfall and to follow instructions from local authorities.
Emergency response teams remain on high alert as rainfall continues in the high-range areas. Relief measures are being prepared in case the situation worsens, and temporary shelters have been identified for residents if evacuation becomes necessary.
Authorities have urged the public to stay informed through official updates and immediately report landslides, fallen trees, or flooding incidents to the local administration.
