...and thus man gets crushed
AGAIN and AGAIN...

Pettimudi, near Munnar in Idukki, KERALA is well known for its natural beauty. It is a part of Rajamalai and Eravikulam national park. It is a treasure of different kinds of flora and fauna. Many tea workers lived peacefully in lines of houses there. But a huge landslide struck the lines on 6th August 2020 killing 70 innocent people and several birds and animals. It is a clear example to demonstrate how destroying Nature affects innocent lives of people and wildlife. The acts of a minority affluent people affects the majority common people, flora and fauna in Nature. This incident teaches us the need to preserve nature and wildlife for peaceful living of humans in the plannet. Unmindful destruction of nature leads to this type of repeated catastophie in the plannet again and again – and thus man gets crushed again and again.
