Heavy rains have wreaked havoc in Kerala for more than a week and the southern state of India now faces its worst flood in more than a century. Most of the districts are under several feet of water and according to latest reports, at least 90 people have died and many are still missing.

Some people are said to be out of contact for several days, causing panic among relatives regarding their safety. Telecom network carriers in a bid to ease the tension have come forward to offer free call and internet service for a limited time in Kerala.
