Crops ravaged in Poonjar landslips
Heavy rain that lashed the Pathampuzha area in Poonjar
on the Kottayam-Idukki border resulting in landslips on Wednesday
evening destroyed large tracts of agricultural land and brought damages
to at least half a dozen dwellings.
Reports said
major landslips had occurred in the interiors of Poonjar, including
Valiakoodammala, Aruvikkachal, Kuzhumpalli, Cholathadam, and
Malayinchippaara areas.
Four houses were damaged in the landslips and a cowshed was washed away. A cow and a calf were saved by the local people.

George, Government Chief Whip and the local MLA said no loss of life
had been reported. However, acres of cropland had been washed away.
