Nearly 200 people are still missing after Mundakkai and Chooralmala areas in Wayanad district were flattened by thick torrents of mud and water on Tuesday.

Rescue operations have been hampered by heavy rains in the region all week.

The army is constructing a temporary bridge to Mundakkai, which is across a swollen river, to help stranded residents and search for more survivors.

Health officials reported 256 autopsies, but that included a number of body parts.
