AN EPIDEMIC IN KERALA

 No one would have ever thought that this sought of condition would prevail in the city which is famous for its backwaters. Kerala is one of the most famous tourist destinations in India which is affected by a massive flood. Each and every district of Kerala has faced a loss of life and property during this natural disaster and is still facing.

KERALA FLOOD

 Kerala is submerged under water as all the 5 shutters of the IDUKKI DAM were opened for the first time after 26 years which has thrown the lives of people of Kerala out of gear.

The conditions are so worse that there is a scarcity of everything- food, clean water, shelter, and clothing. The DEATH TOLL HAS RISEN TO 329 and still, the counting is going on. All the forces are working together whether it is the Indian air force, the Indian army or the NDRF, all are working day and night to rescue the people from the affected region. Every school, government office, and the religious places have become a refugee camp where people are provided with all the basic needs.

The difficulties are caused not only by a flood but also by the landslides and the broken road lines that are the so-called effects of this flood. Even the airports are waterlogged and the flights are canceled and now the Koch airport which is the naval base of Air India will be open for commercial operations from Monday. The government is providing whatever help that can be done by them and the Malayalis that are settled outside India are also helping the state government by providing funds. SUCH MORE FUNDS ARE NEEDED FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF KERALA. The people of Kerala now need to start their lives from the very new beginning, whatsoever they must have gathered all their lives in now flown away with the devastating waters. NO ONE WOULD EVER WANT THIS SORT OF DISASTER TO HAPPEN WITH THEM as this not only destroys your materialistic outlook but also degrades the soul within you.

KERALA FLOOD

This is the first time a place like Kerala has been hit by such a drastic calamity. The destruction is so vast that even the forces are finding it difficult to help each and every citizen of Kerala and to the citizens of Kerala the fishermen of their areas are appearing as the omnipresent. They are helping in every way they can, they are using their own resources to reach out to people where the forces cant. They are using their own boats to help people travel to refugee camps. Till now 38,000 people have been rescued and taken to 2,781 refugee camps by the forces and by the local fishermen.

KERALA FLOOD

What you think the reason is behind such heavy rainfall and the flood?

Is it the effect of the change in climate or is just because of deforestation and fast industrialization?     

This all deluge is the result of us only. It is we who are exploiting nature to such an extent that the results of it are shaking the human society from inside.  

If we are only responsible for this IT IS OUR DUTY TO HELP THE CITIZENS THERE IN EACH AND EVERY WAY WE CAN!!
