Flood waters have submerged some homes and the homeless have been accommodated in 1,568 relief camps across the state.

Damage to the roads and highways is hampering relief operations as flood waters have washed a number of roads while landslides have caused blockage.

The rail networks have also been affected badly with many trains being cancelled.

The Indian Meteorological Department said heavy rains will continue, but the intensity has lessened slightly.
