The Hindu
Sand erosion, caused by tidal waves due to cyclone Jawad, is believed to be the reason behind the collapse
The parapet wall of the children's park at RK Beach collapsed partially and the soil developed big cracks along the wall. The partial collapse of the wall, that occurred during the early hours of Sunday, is believed to be due to sand erosion.
The lawn and walking track in the park have also developed cracks and a few cement benches in the park suffered damage. The police cordoned off the park and service road adjacent to the main Beach Road by erecting barricades to prevent the movement of visitors and tourists in view of the danger.
The park is located right on the beach at a height of about 10-foot from the sand. The erosion is said to have been caused by tidal waves due to cyclone Jawad.
