Five relief centres operational in district; 95 persons shifted to camps
Kochi heaved a collective sigh of relief following a let-up in the rain situation on Sunday.
Sun shone bright during the first half of the day in Ernakulam even as rain battered other parts of the State. It rained in some areas of the city for a short duration late in the evening. Kochi remained more or less free of flooding this time as flood management efforts proved effective.
There was respite from rain in Aluva, Kanayannur and Kochi taluks till 5 p.m., while Paravur and Kunnathunad taluks received rain for some time during the day.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
