30 houses were taken out of the sea in two weeks in Pozhiyoor.

Pozhiyoor, the southernmost coastal region of the state, is on the verge of destruction due to repeated sea raids. Thirty houses were taken out to sea in two weeks. The coastal people who took shelter in the relief camp with their infants during the covid period are turning their backs, not knowing where they will go.

The increase in sea raids was caused by the lack of protection along the Kerala coast, even if the pulimoott was tied up in the adjoining Tamil Nadu area.

The only relief camp for a mother is to lie down with her one-and-a-half-month-old baby during the torrential rains and deadly Kovid. There are many more lives lost there. What Vinodini and her three children have to say is that every time they make a hut, it is the art of the sea that robs them.

The sea, which had destroyed its houses, was climbing past the coastal road. If we move further, Pozhiyoor will become a land of the homeless. One of the reasons that left Pozhiyoor to the sea was undoubtedly the government’s dislocation. There is a sea wall and pulimoot in the area of Tamil Nadu. The sea didn’t get into the houses there. And took the house to sea where there was no sea wall and no pulimoot .
