More than two weeks after severe landslides due to heavy rains wreaked havoc in a few districts of Kerala, the state Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has informed that restrictions will be put in place regarding the construction of buildings in landslide-prone areas. The announcement comes at a time when the state government is under fire for its quarrying policies.
Stating that the construction of buildings in landslide-prone areas is dangerous, Pinarayi Vijayan, on Saturday, added that a special committee will be formed to conduct a scientific study regarding the matter.
“Human lives are more important than anything else. We have helplessly watched people being buried under the soil. Constructions should not happen in areas that are prone to landslides,” said Pinarayi, who added that the government will help in the construction of homes for those who are currently living in landslide-prone areas and who do not possess any other land.
