Lesson from Kerala floods : Human activities, climate change has disastrous effects on environment

  Lesson from Kerala floods : Human activities, climate change has disastrous effects on environment   Sagaya Fernando Mumbai: 19 October 2021   Overexploitation of natural resources and haphazard development by humans has led to climate change, resulting in long-lasting consequences on the environment. This is increasing health hazards and natural disasters, and more, day by day. The torrential flooding being witnessed recently in the state of Kerala in India is a prime example of this, say many experts.   This is not the first time that Kerala, a state of 34 million people, has been devastated by floods. It saw the worst floods in a century in 2018 when severe rains caused flash floods and landslides, killing nearly 500 people and leaving a million homeless. The following year, more than 125 people were killed in flash floods and landslides across the state. More than 50 were killed in August last year after landslides struck the hilly Munnar region.   The latest spell of torrential

Boy falls off three storeys of a building and cheats death

Mumbai: 13 November 2018


True to the anonymous saying ‘Angles are never too distant to hear you’, an 11-year-old boy experienced this first hand, surviving a fall from the third floor of a building. Incidentally, he fell on top of his friend and both escaped without a single injury.

The incident took place on November 11 at around 7.13 pm in the small town of Pusad in Maharashtra, India. Three boys enjoying their Diwali vacation were flying a kite and it got stuck in the external pipe three storeys high of a nearby building. 11-year-old Swapnil Jagre climbed the pipe to release the kite. After freeing the kite, he slipped off the pipe and plummeted to the ground 40 feet below.

Luckily, at that moment, one of the friends who had rushed to collect the falling kite, bent down to pick it up, and Swapnil fell right on his back and rolled off to the ground. Miraculously, both of them escaped without a scratch or injury. The whole incident was captured on the CCTV camera of a nearby building.

When the boys reported about the incident to their family members none of them believed it as both the boys did not show any sign of injury. It was only after the CCTV footage surfaced and went viral the parents realized the gravity of the incident. “Seeing the footage, I can only say that it is by God’s grace my son’s friend broke his fall, and both of them escaped unscathed. It is like a second birth of my son,” said Swapnil’s mother Swati Jagre.
