#CommieAHs in the Kerala Govt apparently bluffed to the court on #MullaPeriyar blaming TN?
Before we get into technicalities. The dam's height is 176 Feet. And water level allowed is 142 ft vide a SC order (throwing out KIWCA 2006 passed by Kerala
#CommieMadeDisaster

#CommieMadeDisaster
For all practical purposes the safe water storage level in #Mullaperiyar dam wass considered safe upto as 152 ft but later reduced to 142 ft (YES SAFE according to SC order of Feb 2006). Please note it is NOT CAPACITY of the dam.

#CommieMadeDisaster
TN conformed to the CWC directive to reduce the water level in #Mullaperiyar dam from 152 to 142 ft (and also further to 136.4') pending strengthening work. Post strengthening by TNPWD and as decided by Justice Anand Committee it was allowed upto 142'

#Thread #KeralaFloods Detailed thread to document the historic efforts of various online groups in rescue and relief operations. Trust me, Whatsapp and Google sheets were the powerful weapons we had. Pic: An online control room set by NRKs in house at Abu Dhabi (1/n)

It was the time we truly realised the power of social media and instant messaging services with regard to disaster management. Many were stranded on roof-tops without any other contact to the world other than their mobile phones. Whatsapp brilliantly solved the issue. (2/n)

Before going in detail let me point out the problem statements. 1) Govt issued some helpline numbers but most of them were busy with numerous calls 2) Thousands of SOS requests flooded in social media which were not addressed in a systematic manner, hence turned spams (3/n)

My humble request to His Excellency @HHShkMohd Sir to kindly confirm if UAE "Government" offered any AID to India for #KeralaFloods

If Not, I request @CMOKerala Shri @vijayanpinarayi to apologize to the nation for misleading people

cc @narendramodi @MEAIndia

@MEAIndia

OFFICIAL Statement from @MEAIndia

Where does the government say that they have refused AID from UAE. This is a general statement. The media is giving a spin to it to sensationalize it.

Simple answer to this is: UAE GOVERNMENT DID NOT OFFICIALLY OFFER AID

The CM of Kerala is caught in a trap which he can't come out of it. That stupid NRI told him & he believed him. Wait Modi Ji will give a spin to this & all these idiots will run for cover.

Media Twisted it

It's not rain..Blaming it on opening of Dams...

See the rainfall in mm in KSEB dams between 14 to 17 of August 2018

#KeralaFloods

This is almost one third of the total rainfall Kerala used to receive for an entire year!

But blame it on dams!!

14 means 14/08/2018
15 means 15/08/2018

They are not 2014 or 2015

And great IMD was clueless about this extreme rainfall which poured in this 4 days between 14-17 August 2018!!

800 mm to 950 mm.

Can you believe it?

It's all in public domain too

1. Enter your hiuse at moening itseld when there is daylight.

2. Do not take children and elderly when you enter your house for the first time.

3. While entering make sure to wear thick boots or shoes as most common injury is trauma from sharp objects.

#Thread Went to Vizhinjam coast to meet the fishermen who took part in rescue mission in #KeralaFloods . We were filled with positive energy and happiness hearing their experiences (1/n)

We dedicated almost 2 pages for celebrating their mission.On Thursday 8.10 pm Fr.Justin Judin,vicar of Vizhinjam church announced the requirement for boats through public announcement system. In 20 minutes almost 50 boats and 100 fishermen were assembled. Military like formation!

Just see the Engine fan of a fishing boat which participated in the #KeralaFloods rescue mission. Most of the boats are damaged and they won't be able to go to sea for a while. I was blown away by their sacrifice (3/n)

I am really unhappy with the way a section of the society conducted itself, including verified accounts during #keralafloods. This is a time of introspection or bonding, not blind hate. I beg everyone not to consider any of these persons seriously over any topic down the line.

Let me post a few of these. No country can survive with such a level of hate. It's up to you to decide whether you want to build the country or widen the fault lines. And remember, with power comes responsibility.

@CMOKerala

Kerala is striving together as a fraternity to overcome the catastrophic flood. However, we have noticed that some are trying to malign this great effort with misinformation in the form of fake messages on social media. #KeralaFloods

Police have been instructed to take strict measures against such cyber offenders. Also Spotted some fraudulent messages/posters with altered CMDRF account numbers as well.

Kerala is exhibiting monumental strength to bounce back from this tragedy, and anyone who is trying to disrupt it will face serious consequences.

As you can see the flood hit areas in Kerala, they are all rich, almost all. Only 10% may be poor.
They don't need any help in cash or kind.
Please stop sending food or other things.
Security forces are doing the needful.

All they need is labour force, once the water recedes.
Kerala has no labours, though they pay high wages.
Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, painters, masons, domestic helpers are needed urgently by Keralites.

Commies & Kerala Govt are begging for funds for their own luxuries.
Most of the development in Kerala is done by common people.
Even the International airports are the contribution of common citizens in Kerala.

#KeralaFloods might hv an astral connection, as it is believed #Kerala d land of #vamana celebrates every yr #Onam around this time, Onam falls on d birth #constellation of vamana i.e #Shravana nakshtra in which we had d longest total lunar eclipse of this century on 27/28 July

https://twitter.com/Srisankalpa/status/1022388224902262784

Like at a personal level for one who is born or associated with shravana constellation or Nakshtra d #Eclipse affects individually similarly it affects a region in this case #kerala at a mundane level astrally on human affairs that runs across d southern belt of #westernghats

Also #Kerala is a land blessed by d #serpents & d reason for its fertility is directly related to d blessings bestowed by #Nagas on #Parasurama in a barren land infested with sea salt, hence not respecting d blessings by cutting down forests on large scale in d name of developmnt

Similarly the Front pages of Times Group owned newspapers ( The Economic Times, Vijaya Karnataka and Navbharat Times) had no news about Kerala Floods on Sat 18 Aug.

Times of India then has the Audacity to mock Kerala through a Cartoon.

Such a Beautiful Newspaper.

മഴ തുടങ്ങിയപ്പോൾ നിങ്ങളും സന്തോഷിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ടാവും ഞങ്ങളെ പോലെ തന്നെ. കുട്ടികളും യുവാക്കളും മുതിർന്നവരും ആ മഴയിൽ തുള്ളിച്ചാടിയിട്ടുണ്ടാവാം. വെള്ളത്തിന്റെ അളവ് കൂടുന്നതു നിങ്ങൾ ശ്രദ്ധിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ടാവില്ല, അതു പരിധി വിടുന്നത് വരെ. ഞങ്ങളെ പോലെ തന്നെ.

അതിനു ശേഷമാണ് നിങ്ങളും ഞങ്ങളും തമ്മിലുള്ള വ്യത്യാസം..

ഒരാഴ്ച തുടർച്ചയായി ചെന്നൈ നഗരത്തെ മഴ വിഴുങ്ങിയപ്പോൾ ഞങ്ങൾ മരവിച്ചു പോയി. സഹായത്തിനായി അലമുറയിട്ടു. നെഞ്ചത്തടിച്ചു. അന്ന് കേരളമക്കളും ആ ദുരിതത്തിൽനിന്നു കരപറ്റാൻ ഞങ്ങളുടെ നേരെ കൈ നീട്ടി തന്നു.

Before spewing venom against PM Modi & propagating lies, just learn who sent all rescue teams to Kerala?
Anyone from madrassa or lslamic orgs volunteered?
Your @CMOKerala is just watching helplessly.

@CMOKerala

Kerala provided Rs.5cr to Pakistan for flood relief.
The @CMOKerala noted that the floods had caused considerable hardships to the people of Pakistan. Hence the decision to provide the assistance.

Does he know the pathetic condition of common man in Kerala Or taken for granted?
