K Harinarayan, president of the World Malayali Council’s Pune chapter, tells The Indian Express that the floods in Kerala were not caused only due to nature’s fury, but also because the state government had rejected the Madhav Gadgil report on Western Ghats.
The grave situation is continuing in many parts of Kerala as the rains have not stopped. In some parts, though, the rain has stopped, but not in the entire state. As the discharge from dams has increased, the rivers continue to overflow.
