Transformed into a Desert




Summer had drunk the last drop of water from Bharatapuzha. Kerala's longest river is all dried up as a result of summer sun's fury. The dumping of wastes from Shoranur station is also affecting the sanctity of the river.

Acute water scarcity is affected by residents near  Nila. The river which is having a cultural impact on Kerala, especially Malabar region always used to dry up in the summer. The increased sand mining have affected the intensity of water scarcity. The proposal that Nila will be getting WWF's recognition is still in paper. No final decision is yet arrived on this. The protection of river is highly inevitable in a time like this. At least when you look at the river you must be able to realise that it is a river and not a desert.
