People urged to file details of rain-related losses online to claim compensation The Revenue Department authorities on Monday wound up many temporary relief camps in Kozhikode district as heavy rain and sea erosion threat subsided after three days. In Koyilandy taluk, seven out of the eight relief camps were closed as affected people left for their homes.
In some of the coastal villages, the number of people in relief camps came down as the weather improved. In Vadakara taluk, only four families continued to stay back in a camp. The three camps in Kozhikode taluk will be closed after reviewing the situation on Tuesday. Though heavy rain led to a sudden increase in the water level of rivers on Sunday, there was no demand for relief camps in villages under the Thamarassery taluk.
