Fishers on Mossodi beach yet to get compensation for destroyed houses
The Hindu
Cyclone Tauktae destroyed most of the dwellings on the seashore
Whenever the meteorological department issues alerts of heavy rain in the wake of a depression in the Arabian sea, fishermen such as M. Abdul Majeed and others on the Moosodi beach at Manjeshwar in Kasaragod have a sleepless night.
For the past two years, such alerts have portended a nightmare for them with houses being damaged or totally destroyed in the cyclone and the consequent sea erosion.
There has been no significant support from the government, except for a small compensation, which some of them have already used for paying the rent for the houses to which they have been forced to move following the disaster.
