Kerala Floods
Taking a dig at Pinarayi Vijayan-led government in Kerala, Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala on Wednesday said to the media that the floods in Kerala, the worst in a century, were man-made and it is due to lack of coordination between the Power Minister, the Water Resource Ministers and the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB).
"This monsoon, Kerala received 41.44 per cent more rains and all the (sluice gates of the) dams were opened without proper analysis or impact studies... People were totally unaware that the dams were being opened," he said.
