Massive cutting of trees, deforestation, mining, for cash crops and resort throughout wayanad, idukki, Sabarimala, kottayam forests is main cause, both Cpim and Congress or BJP refusing to implement kasturi rangan report to preserve from plantations of GMO cash crops and decommissiong dams restore natural forests landscapes is the only solution!

We don't respect nature. Nature won't spare us either. River should have given her space. Why build town on river banks ?

ഒരപകടം വരുമ്പോ രക്ഷിക്കാൻ പടച്ചോനും ഇല്ല, പിതാവും പുത്രനും അമ്മായി അപ്പനും ഇല്ല, മുപ്പത്തി മുക്കോടി ദൈവങ്ങളും ഇല്ല 😇😇 നാല്പാടും ഓടുന്നത് മനുഷ്യർ മാത്രം 😇എന്നിട്ടും വീണ്ടും വിളിക്കുന്നത് ദൈവമേ എന്ന് 😇... Common Sence.. 😭

[liberandu]

Pappu should be blamed for THIS??
The toolkit ecosystem blames Modi for every disaster 😂😂

[rajeshkumar]

Now the Law allows to cut trees but not sow and save mountains...?. Wonderla...

It's fast becoming Devil's own country

The more you do harm to Karnataka, the more harm you will face from Nature

The landslide took place upstream few kilometers. Water and debris then flowed down.
