Surrounding the 20-foot-deep pile of rubble and boulders at the landslide site - around 18km from Kerala's Munnar town - are grieving locals, shocked at their families being wiped out within seconds. Rescue teams are continuing with the search operation for fifth consecutive day amid continuous rain in a difficult terrain. Till now, they have found 50 bodies in an area where at least 80 people lived. Karpayi, 45, burst out in tears as she told NDTV how she lost 16 members of her family in seconds. Only she and her son escaped the Idukki landslide that wiped out decades old four-lane housing area for tea estate workers at the Kannan Devan Hills.
