Essay on flood caused in kerala (400-500 words)

Answer 1

Beginning in 15 August 2018, severe floods affected the south Indian state of Kerala, due to unusually high rainfall during the monsoon season.[4] It was the worst flooding in Kerala in nearly a century.[5] Over 483 people died, 14 are missing.[6] At least a million[7][8] people were evacuated, mainly from Chengannur,[9] Pandanad,[10] Edanad, Aranmula, Kozhencherry, Ayiroor, Ranni, Pandalam, Kuttanad, Aluva, and Chalakudy,N.Paravur, Chendamangalam,Eloor and few places in Vypin Island. All 14 districts of the state were placed on red alert.[11][12] According to the Kerala government, one-sixth of the total population of Kerala had been directly affected by the floods and related incidents.[13] The Indian government had declared it a Level 3 Calamity, or "calamity of a severe nature".[14][15] It is the worst flood in Kerala after the great flood of 99 that happened in 1924.
Thirty-five out of the fifty-four[16] dams within the state were opened for the first time in history. All five overflow gates of the Idukki Dam were opened at the same time, for the first time in 26 years.[17] Heavy rains in Wayanad and Idukki have caused severe landslides and have left the hilly districts isolated.[18][13] The situation was regularly monitored by the Prime Minister, and the National Crisis Management Committeecoordinated the rescue and relief operations.[19]

A state official told AFP that 370 people have died, while The Economic Times has reported that 33,000 people have been rescued.[11][23][24] The Kerala State Disaster Management Authority has placed the state in a red alert as a result of the intense flooding.[25] A number of water treatment plants were forced to cease pumping water, resulting in poor access to clean water, especially in northern districts of the state.[26]Over 3,274 relief camps[7] have been opened at various locations to accommodate the flood victims. It is estimated that 1,247,496 people[7] have found shelter in such camps.[27][28] The flooding has affected hundreds of villages, destroyed an estimated 10,000 km (6,200 mi) of roads and thousands of homes have been damaged or destroyed.[25] The Government has cancelled Onam celebrations, whose allocated funds have been reallocated to relief efforts.[29] On August 15, Cochin International Airport, India's fourth busiest in terms of international traffic, and the busiest in the state suspended all operations until 29 August, following runway flooding.[11] Many schools throughout the state have been closed, and tourists have been dissuaded or banned from some districts due to safety concerns.[23] Kochi Metro was closed briefly on August 16, and has since begun offering free service to aid those affected by the flooding.[30] Due to heavy rain and rising water levels the southern railway has suspended train services on Thiruvananthapuram-Kottayam-Ernakulam and Ernakulam-Shoranur-Palakkad sections.[31]
The fishermen from across Kerala were engaged in the flood rescue missions. [36] According to the government’s estimate, a total of 4,537 from the fishermen community participated in the rescue operation with 669 fishing boats. They managed to rescue more than 65,000 people from various districts. Pinarayi Vijayan honoured the fishermen and the Fisheries Minister J. Mercykutty Amma said that the government will provide financial aid to repair the fishing boats which were partially damaged in the rescue operations while new ones will be provided for those boats which were completely destroyed. According to estimates, seven boats were completely destroyed, while 452 were partially destroyed.

A worker with the Humane Society International spoke out against the tethering and leaving of pets that occurred. "That became a problem. So many tethered animals just drowned. These animals are natural swimmers, and it is better to keep them free so they can swim to higher ground." According to government records more than 8,000 cattle, calves and buffaloes, 3,297 goats, and 47 dogs have died due to the flooding.



Here is your answer. I hope it helps you. I took help from Wikipedia..... :D

Answer 2

Kerala's news has been spread all over since it was flooded in an epic, potentially remarkable cataclysm. Huge tracts of low-lying zones, towns and houses were submerged for nearly seven days in numerous spots. The number of people who died, as indicated by the Kerala government website, which is more than 370. In excess of a million people are misplaced. In support around 3,000 alleviation camps were opened. More than 42,000 hectares of crops are demolished. There were 537 landslides and 221 bridges destroyed.

Unimaginably, various trolls have been sending messages on WhatsApp requesting that kindred Indians do not send cash or alleviation supplies to Kerala. They've been upsetting the wrong individuals, in light of the fact that Keralites will dependably set up a battle.

Kerala will be back in the game again. Everybody realizes that. There's expectation, however, that the solidarity showed will be an exercise to keep hate mongers out of the condition. Above all it will stop the government official corporate mafia nexus who waived all expert environmentalists’ recommendations, tossed admonitions into the dustbin, to permit sand-mining, mangrove devastation and chopping down forests for profiteering and insatiability.
