It should be declared as senstitive Area. No more cottages and hotels.close down

[shaijupk]

The reason is because of high rainfall in short period of time.. The land beneath got saturated with water and hence got slided

[sarvammadhavam]

It is not landslide but mudslide, both are different. And the origin of wayanad mudslide is in the river's origin where there is no constructions, and its inside the forest in the mountain. Massive water and mudflow caused to 350+ people's death washing out of two villages entirely. The reason is not construction but heavy rain in a limited period of time. And this were been also happend in 1984 in the same place, in that time there was no constructions. And also a bigger and similiar incident which caused death of 1000s of people in 1924 which is known as great flood of kerala 1924, mudslide is now becoming a comon phenomenon in kerala due to the increased rain since 2017. The only solution is to survey the dangerous hillsides and relocate them to the safe areas.

State with highest literacy rate and ignoring all protocols. I’m a malayali too and I won’t blame the govt. the govt instructed the people to vacate but the locals ignored.

[rajaramansundaram]

In kerala moonsoon rains occur at mountains and plain coastal areas. The huge flow of mountain rainwater and heavy downpour in coastal plains with high tides in coastal belts leads to flooding . One solution is to make tunnels from dams in high mountains to Water starved Tamilnadu side and by this surplus rainwater can be gainfully diverted as hydroelectricity and irrigation water will fetch revenue for kerala

[jaisivaramsivaram]

Vote Bank Politics.
Religion Politics.
Money Politics.
No action against any illegal Construction. Houses. 😮

[AutoCarst]

Raining problem, no raining also problem 😂😂😂😂 what a world class infrastructure

[anidahhashim]

Greeds of mankind never end, not just in India...and the poor people shall always be the victim

[rajaramansundaram]

Surplus water from kerala dams can be diverted to water starved areas bordering Tamilnadu so that mud flows and landslides do not occur. Also flooding in coastal areas can be prevented

[Cvs]

Now where is Rahul Gandhi..he goes to manipur in middle of clashes and guns..can't go in his area when it is just landslide...helicopter is always available

[raviranjan]

Status report of current situation need to be posted.
Question need to be asked from district officer why disaster warning not issued on time.
All support need to be given to victim's family.

[ellam-kanuka-]

Sorry.. thingzz ur mension is little bit exaggeration 😂🎉

[BeautifulLifee]

Inspite of state gov receiving heavy rain alert they just did nothing, Central gov had already sent 23 NDRF teams but state gov just did not bother to take precautionary measures.Kerala people it's time for you to think beyond lefties and khangress mentality..you guys are taken for granted by them

[deeptikrishna]

Over exploitation of tourism is the reason
HP, Uttarakhand, Kerala, Goa are classic egs

[JisThenasseril]

For sure there is unauthorized building is there who is the permission of government that is why government said not permission for the scientist to visit the sport or explain to the news

[AmalRaj-dvvj]

Government rule is there no more heavy construction there, but government built multiple floor school also... Government employees approve all type of construction there... Then normal people what have to do...

[Criminalboys]

Within 3days 1000crore above sponsored and 600house, 300acer land, power of kerala, unity, any other state waiting for central government donations, but malayali never mind central government, they did their own way, power of malayali.

[lejink.r]

Urban polluters are also responsible for global climate change, which causes heavy rainfall and sudden ecological disasters. Whenever a disaster occurs, these contributors to global pollution blame native farmers (hill and forest areas) and fishermen (sea shore), who have been coexisting with nature for years, while lecturing them on preserving it. This is not a disaster caused by native people, but by global climate change and natural phenomena. Instead of accusing farmers govt should take actions to reduce gloabl warming

[cloudlearn]

Your tv disply is not showing right way...just move on 5degrees on the left side...
