The Kerala government has stepped up its vigil in view of the possibility of heavy rains. Kerala had been devastated by floods in August this year leaving a trail of unprecedented destruction and had forced people to take refuge in relief camps. The South-west monsoon had claimed 493 lives in the floods, the worst in the last 100 years.
