While some people were watching, a cement house on the banks of a river in kerala may have seen scenes of it failing and tumbling into the water on social media. In Kerala's kottayam and idukki districts, more than 35 people were killed by flash floods and landslides. For the fourth year in a row, kerala has been declared to be in flood danger. 483 individuals were killed in 2018. Despite a decrease in casualties in the years afterward, property losses remained substantial.

With the support of relief operations and individuals affected by natural catastrophes, Kerala's Left Democratic Front administration was able to retain power in this year's assembly elections. Has the government and the general public showed sufficient interest in preventing or reducing natural disasters such as the one described above? 

It goes without saying that there isn't much. During the mid-United Progressive Alliance era, the 'Western Mountain Range Ecological Expert Group,' led by senior ecologist madhav Gadkil, delivered a report to the government. kerala was one of the states that spoke out against the declaration regardless of political allegiance. kerala then refused to accept the Central Government's Kasturirangan Committee report, which had reduced suggestions.

The current disaster is highlighted in the madhav Gadkil report. On the other hand, we cannot deny that climate change has become a threat in our midst. Human efforts will not be able to totally prevent such natural disasters. However, it can significantly reduce the loss of human life and property as a result of calamities. During the 2018 catastrophe, the madhav Gadkil report's recommendations were highlighted. Even after that, the kerala government refused to embrace the report's recommendations.
