Question

Notice kerala flood 2018

Answer 1

New Delhi: After getting a breather from rains after a week-long battering, rescue efforts were stepped up in Kerala as Army, Navy, Air Force, the Coast Guard, and disaster management agencies such as the NDRF rescued 43,000 people, as per official figures. The Ministry of Home Affairs has declared Kerala floods of 'severe nature', and the Centre exempted basic customs duty and IGST on goods supplied for Kerala relief operations.

Almost one million people have been displaced while 373 have lost their lives due to the rain fury over the past week. And while help has been pouring in from across the country and from friendly nations such as Japan and Maldives, one of the most critical challenges in front of Kerala would be -  redevelopment.
