Help coastal people.

The sea coast of Alappuzha district witness an unprecedented sea erosion and for the people living in that area life is of misery. With heavy rains and high tidal waves the existing sea walls are of little use and the area much affected is without sea walls.  As the coastal people are horrified the occasional visit of local MLA or minister are of no use to lessen their woe.  Even houses built under tsunami rehabilitation package are also under peril. With the sea demolishing the shore local people have no option other than to seek the aid of the government.

What the government has to do immediately is the protection of sea shore with stone walls. Hence the government should take action to supply stones to shore up the seawall and that too in a war footing basis.

Free ration and financial assistance should be immediately given to the affected people.
