Kerala slowly picks up pieces after devastating floods

Hindustan Times  

Thankamma needs to get to Kottayam. The tourism ministry, whose revenue in 2017 was 10% of the state’s GDP, estimates a loss of ₹1,000 crore worth of business till December due to cancellations. On September 15, state finance minister Thomas Isaac tweeted that the centre “would hardly foot the bill.” “One is revenue expenditure, which includes repair and maintenance of houses, roads, support for livelihood, various types of compensation to be made to people and relief work. Everyone HT met—ministers, bureaucrats, residents alike—spoke of three main things this entails: sustainable construction, such as rainwater harvesting; a serious re-look at management of the state’s 35 big dams whose untimely opening worsened the flood situation ; and a greater consciousness regarding land use, especially as Kerala has moved to being a cash crop-rich state. For instance, all government hospitals, including the Kottayam Medical College that Thanknamma visits, offer free cancer treatment under the state’s Sukrutham scheme.
