THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The situation in Chengannur in Alappuzha district continues to be extremely grave with thousands of people marooned in different villages still begging for help. The fishing boats sent from Thiruvananthapuram played a major role in saving hundreds of people from the flooded areas.
The persons accompanying the boats had a tough time navigating through the powerful under-currents and swirls to reach the marooned people. Many people from Pandanad, Thiruvanvandoor and Edanad were rescued by the fishing boats.
