BBC News reports that the rains have eased for now and that the rescue efforts have increased.

So far, the flooding is reported to have claimed the lives of around 350 people and left thousands more stranded as some areas are still under water.

BBC News reported that, the state's chief minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, made a vow on Sunday to "save even the last person stranded."
