Kerala's Idukki Withdraws Tourism Curbs as Heavy Rain Subsides
There is a beautiful place in India called Idukki, where people love to visit tea gardens and mountains.
Last week, Idukki got a lot of heavy rain.
The heavy rain caused landslides and floods, which can be very dangerous.
To keep everyone safe, the district leader put a stop to tourism at some popular spots.
The places where tourists could not visit were Munnar, Pallivasal, Kunjithanni and Vagamon.
After some days, the rain became much lighter.
