8 columns of army personnel were deployed in various parts of flood-hit regions in Kerala. Indian Navy has launched “Operation Madad” and Indian Army has launched “Operation Sahyog.” The rescue operations carried out by Indian Army, Navy and Air Force in association with NDRF personnel is still on.


Ecologist Madhav Gadgil has accused the disaster to be a man-made due to avoidance and negligence towards environmental concerns and ecological safety norms.

The state government of Kerala had not pay a heed to the major environmental warnings in pursuit of reckless development of industries, power plants, coal mining, new housing, hotel resorts, tree-lined beaches and lush plantations and more.
