<strong>Kerala Floods:</strong> Indian Coast Guard rescued a 10-day-old infant from a house in flood-hit East Kadangaloor, in Kerala on Saturday. In a video that surfaced on the social media yesterday, showed rescue personnel saving a 10-day-old infant in precarious conditions. Amid the despair in the flood-hit area, the security forces and relief teams are trying their best to rescue those stranded in Kerala. The Indian Coast Guard took to Twitter and shared the video showing how the rescue team managed to save the newly born infant. “#KeralaFloods2018 #OPRAHAT @IndiaCoastGuard Team rescued 127 marooned people from the flooded homes of East #Kadangaloor including a 10-day-old infant and also a mother with advanced pregnancy today. All shifted to safety,” tweeted the Coast Guard. The video showed two coast guard personnel carrying a little baby in arms and walking on a thin rod, balancing the infant. After crossing the length of the rod, they later handed over the infant to another man waiting in the boat. <strong>Watch Video-</strong> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/KeralaFloods2018?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#KeralaFloods2018</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/OPRAHAT?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#OPRAHAT</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/IndiaCoastGuard?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@IndiaCoastGuard</a> Team rescued 127 marooned people from the flooded homes of East <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Kadangaloor?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Kadangaloor</a> including a 10 day old infant and also a mother with advanced pregnancy today.
