At least two people died as heavy rains accompanied by strong winds lashed several districts across Kerala on Monday, causing waterlogging in low-lying areas, officials said. A fisherman died in Alappuzha district after his boat capsized near the Arthunkal coast following a strong wind. The deceased was identified as Paul Devasia, a native of Arthunkal. He went out for fishing early in the morning, and though other fishermen rescued him from the water, he later died, police said.
