Kerala Government Sanctions Funds for Flood-Displaced Families in Malappuram
What happened
Floods occurred along the Chaliyar river in Nilambur, Malappuram district. The Kerala government sanctioned ₹2.46 crore to build houses for families displaced by the August 2019 floods at Vaniyampuzha tribal settlement. This allocation, announced by the Minister for Welfare of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes, is intended to provide ₹6 lakh to each family for construction.

Why it matters
The funding addresses the long-term rehabilitation of families who were displaced by the floods, many of whom still live in temporary shelters seven years later. The floods also destroyed bridges in the area, which cut off the hamlet and forced residents to rely on bamboo rafts to cross the river.
The National Disaster Response Force assisted in search operations in Nilambur, Malappuram, following the flood incident.
