Severe waterlogging along the banks of Kerala’s Vembanad Lake has forced hundreds of families to abandon their homes, seeking refuge in rented accommodations. The crisis has hit daily wage workers the hardest, leaving them struggling for survival.
Reports indicate that around 1,500 families across five wards have been impacted, as stagnant water has rendered living conditions unbearable. Residents are battling health hazards, disrupted livelihoods, and a lack of basic amenities.
The disaster has sparked urgent concerns over inadequate drainage systems and the region’s climate resilience, with floodwaters showing no signs of receding. As uncertainty looms, affected families face an uphill battle to rebuild their lives.
