Work to rescue about 800 passengers stranded at Srivaikuntam in southern Tamil Nadu is ‘going on’ and the exercise will be completed as soon as possible, an official said on Tuesday.
Elsewhere, the Army assisted evacuation of people from flood-hit areas and provided them medical care.
Though rainfall activity has almost come to a halt in most parts of southern Tamil Nadu, the inundation is still heavy, which continues to affect normalcy.
A railway official here said the NDRF, Air Force, railway and local authorities are coordinating the rescue work.
