Rescue teams have also been slowed down by tough terrain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Initial reports from local revenue officials, at around 11.30 AM, suggest that five people have died. Ten others have been rescued so far.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Forest officials and other emergency services personnel have reached the spot. The Chief Minister&#8217;s Office has sought assistance from IAF helicopters for help with rescue efforts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan also tweeted that an NDRF team had been deployed, with a second team &#8211; based in nearby Thrissur &#8211; also on its way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;An NDRF team has been deployed to rescue landslide victims in Rajamalai, Idukki.

The entire district was on red alert for likely extremely heavy rainfall today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The district also saw floods in low-lying areas like Munnar, which is a popular tourist destination near Rajamalai, because of rising water levels of a nearby river.Night travel has been banned in Idukki district, the state disaster management authority was quoted by news agency PTI, adding that several roads and highways had been closed due to rains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">An NDRF team has been deployed to
