One survivor, G. Balan, told of fleeing his village only to reach a crocodile-infested lagoon.
"We realized that there was certain death on this side, so we decided to cross and take the risk," Balan said. "The crocodiles were not looking. They were busy eating on the shore, where there were many human and animal bodies. It was hide-and-seek. But we swam across," he said.
"It still gives me a shiver. If they had seen me, they would have caught me by the stomach. They catch the soft part of the body and drag you away."
