Swell waves inundated coastal areas in central and southern districts of Kerala on Sunday, giving anxious moments to coastal communities and prompting district-level disaster management machineries to be in alert mode.
Swell waves flooded beaches along the coastal areas in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Alappuzha, and Thrissur districts. The phenomenon, referred to as ‘Kallakkadal’ locally, is likely to persist for one or two days more along the Kerala coast, according to the Kerala State Disaster Management Authority (KSDMA).
During ‘Kallakkadal events,’ the sea surges into the land causing inundation.
