Local bodies gear up to open relief camps for affected families
The spring tide-induced waterlogging has turned life a nightmare for large sections of the population in the coastal panchayats in the district with water surging inside homes.
The situation is set to worsen further with the high tide to be at its most intense between December 18 and 24 under the impact of full moon.
“We have been literally wading through water since the start of this month. Usually, water don’t enter our house but this time it has been happening at least twice a day. It seems like this has been the worst in the last decade,” said Supri Kattuparambil, a social worker residing in Nayarambalam.
