Out of 14 districts, all the 14 districts have been affected and in which 8 districts have been severely affected by floods. The reason behind high tolled death rate is due to landslides across these cities, the cause of these landslides are caused due to the exploitation of these natural resources like accusation of lands and construction of building in the name of tourism, cutting down Mountains for granites and sand for our own requirements. In the year 2011 a team has conducted a research and had already reported about the exploitation of the rocks, and also had advised the government that such acts will result in such disastrous natural calamities which the state is suffering and not only Kerala many other cities have also suffered such problems previously, so at this time we are bringing to your attention, so to unite together to Make bring some changes to avoid such hurtful calamities in future.
