Senior scientist John Matthai of the National Centre for Geosciences said that his team will demarcate the areas that are safe and unsafe for habitation in their report to the government.
Most of disaster-hit Chooralmala in Wayanad district is safe for habitation, but it would be better to avoid living in Punchirimattom, the epicentre of the landslides, in the long run, according to the scientist leading the five-member team that inspected the region devastated by the landslides on July 30.
Senior scientist John Matthai of the National Centre for Geosciences said that his team will demarcate the areas that are safe and unsafe for habitation in their report to the government.
"Most of Chooralmala is safe," he said, adding that "in the long term it would be safer to avoid living in areas close to the river at Punchirimattom".
