Idukki (Kerala) [India], August 6 : Heavy rainfall caused a temporary bridge to collapse in Kerala's Idukki district on Thursday, state authorities informed.
The district that blankets most of the rivers in the state, also saw inundation in low-lying areas like Munnar from the rising water levels from the Muthirapuzha River.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday issued a red alert in the Idukki, Wayanad and Kozhikode districts for Thursday.
"Isolated extremely heavy falls is likely over Kerala and Mahe from August 5-9," the IMD tweeted on Wednesday.
