Kerala Declares Coastal High-Tide Flooding as State Disaster

The Kerala government has decided that when the sea water comes in and causes damage, it will be called a special kind of disaster.

This means people who are affected by this can get money to help them from the government.

This happens a lot in some places in Kerala, like Vypin and Chellanam, and it can hurt people's homes and how they make a living.

The government wants to help these people because the sea water can come in at any time of the year, not just during the monsoon.

The Chief Minister said this will help many people who live near the sea.
