Panel mooted slope stabilisation, tree planting to avoid landslips
Most of the recommendations of an expert committee constituted two years ago to examine the causes of repeated extreme heavy rainfall events and to recommend appropriate policy responses remain on paper even as the State is reeling under fresh rounds of flooding and landslips.
The panel headed by K.P. Sudheer, executive vice-president, Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment, submitted its report to the Kerala State Planning Board in December 2019. The committee, which had experts drawn from various scientific disciplines, had also submitted action plans to be implemented in six months, besides short-, medium- and long-term ones for various sectors.
