In the first incident, two children were killed and three persons were injured when a wall collapsed on a house at Oorkadavu in the district. Nishana, 2, and Tanha, 5, are the deceased.
Two members of a family were killed in a landslide in Koodaranhi panchayat. The deceased have been identified as Prakash and his son Praveen.
Heavy rain, gusty wind continue to wreak havoc across the district, causing landslips, floods and falling trees, and extensive damage to houses and vast tracts of cultivated land.
