In a first, panchayat takes up community-driven tidal flood mitigation programme

One of the worst affected in the 2018-deluge, tidal flooding has become a monthly affair following every full moon day in Puthenvelikkara
Being separated from the seashore by 7 km should be a reasonable safeguard against frequent tidal flooding. But for nearly 300 families of the low-lying Thuruthipuram-Vellottupuram area spread over three wards of Puthenvelikkara panchayat in Ernakulam district, one of the worst affected in the 2018-deluge, tidal flooding has become a monthly affair for four days following every full moon day. Now, a community-driven tidal flooding mitigation programme is under way in the area under the joint aegis of Equinoct—a community-sourced modelling solution provider initiated by IIT Bombay and NIT-Calicut alumnus—and Community Resource Centre (CRC), Puthenvelikkara, with the support of the civil engineering department of SNM College, Maliankara.
