Alappuzha: The Kuttanad region has been hit hard by the aftermath of the floods that have affected the ecosystem, agricultural practices, landscape and customs. Local people also share in the Asianet News series that Kuttanad has to cope with the tragedy of Kuttanad when another rainy season arrives. Even the agricultural calendar of Nellara Kuttanad is changing due to the frequent floods and landslides.
Second crop after smiling. It was this agricultural practice of Kuttanad that rewrote the great flood. Normally sown up to 10,000 hectares, everything sown in 2018 was flooded. In the next three years, only 55% could be harvested. According to the farmers, the villain role is played by fog and floods. The second crop was abandoned by the farmers in Champakulam, Ramankari and Nedumudi fields for an acre.
Strong outpost construction to prevent lapses, no deepening of the streams took place to drain the water. These demands of the farmers have been continuously raised but none of the authorities have ventured to listen and address them.
Then read: When those who have been wounded by incessant water leave, Kuttanad is today a refugee land!...
It is not only the destruction of agriculture and the loss of agriculture, but also the hardship of people's lives. There is no way even for primary needs in stagnant habitations without water going down. If there is more water, leave the house and take shelter in the camps and relatives houses. The present gate of the Kuttanadman.
