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

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.
