Unnatural disaster: On the Wayanad landslides Kerala must restore denuded flora (वनस्पति) and rehabilitate (पुनर्वास करना) people in vulnerable (असुरक्षित) areas Climate change (जलवायु परिवर्तन) can encourage unprecedented (अà¤ूतपूर्व) weather, precipitating natural disasters of magnitudes (परिमाण, आकार) that may surprise local responders (प्रत्युत्तर देने वाला, उत्तरदाता) . The calamitous (विनाशकारी) landslides (à¤ूस्खलन) in Wayanad district in Kerala on July 30 are not necessarily (अनिवार्य रूप से) such disasters. Parts of Kerala have been bearing the brunt of heavy rains during the southwest monsoon and landslides are a yearly affair (घटना, मामला) . But deadly (घातक) landslides are new. This week, heavy rains triggered (cause, lead to, result in, produce, bring about, generate) multiple landslides that have killed 200 people and laid waste to a few villages. The region is a tourist destination and incentivises (प्रोत्साहित करना) infrastructure (the basic physical or organis
