Floods in Southern India which occurred after heavy rains have killed at least 24 people.
Officials say the floods caused rivers to overflow, cutting off towns and villages just as several houses were washed away and people became trapped in the district of Kottayam in Kerala state.
Meanwhile, five children are among the dead while there are fears the death toll could rise further as many people are missing.
Video from the area which went viral on Social Media, showed bus passengers being rescued after their vehicle was inundated with floodwater.
