Kuttanad on way back home
Deccan ChronicleALAPPUZHA: Thousands of displaced people from deserted Kuttanad have started returning to still flooded homes. “The village officer told us that interested people could return home,” Kunjachan, 66, of Kavalam told DC. That’s why they wanted us too to go.” Sony Santhosh of Kavalam was seen sta-nding along with two children on the boat jetty, her left eye narrowed with swelled up eyelids. “All is gone,” she said, “and are left with only relief materials.” Houses in most parts remain half-submerged though water started receding. Finance minister Tho-mas Isaac said Mahara-shtra government was airlifting 50 more 1-million-litre-per-hour cap-acity Kirloskar pumps recently used in Tha-iland to dewater a flooded cave to rescue teen-age footballers.
