Panic gripped the fisherfolk of Ramayapalli village in Odisha’s Ganjam district after parts of homes had been washed away by a tidal wave.
Ramayapalli has been going through the risk of tidal surge for the final 14 years, with the Bay of Bengal menacingly marching in the direction of the mainland.
“This week, a tidal surge washed away one concrete house, while the road was damaged beyond repair. We are spending sleepless nights,” stated K. Dilesh of Ramayapalli.
In the previous one decade, the ocean surge has resulted in submergence of the seashore and is a few few ft away from erasing the village from the map.
Just a few years in the past, the Ganjam district administration facilitated the rehabilitation of villagers about 500 metre into the mainland. While a majority of them opted to maneuver away, some continued to remain again for fishing.
Mr. Dilesh alleged that although the federal government had promised to give you a guard wall to stop erosion of Ramayapalli, it was but to see the sunshine of day.
