Destroying hills

Reports of landslides and related accidental deaths are pouring in from various parts of the state. Most of the natural disasters that are happening today are due to the fact that we have disturbed the natural balance of nature without following any safety standards and without any long view. Man’s exploitation of nature is going beyond limits by clearing forests, leveling hills and filling water bodies with that soil.

Kuppam, which is within the municipal limits of Thaliparamb, has reached the hill near the Maruthakad highway and has reached the tower where the high tension power line is drawn. From there, large boulders were dislodged and reached the road, which is still lying there like a danger sign
