Poor management of dams led to Kerala flood: Leader of Opposition Ramesh Chennithala

Leader of Opposition in Kerala Assembly Ramesh Chennithala on Wednesday alleged that the flood was caused by poor dam management by the LDF government coupled with its greed to store water to generate power.
The Congress-led Opposition, he said, was working in unison with the government to see the state through the tragedy. However, he said, the flood tragedy was a creation of the government, which failed to manage dams. “The flood was not just created by heavy rain, but because 44 dams were opened without any alert to people downstream and without adopting scientific water management,’’ Chennithala said.
