The study of a landslide that hit Pettimudi highlights the discrimination shown to victims of the Pettimudi landslide when compared to victims of the Kozhikode Air India Express crash.
Discrimination:
Manipulating the narrative
Space and vulnerability:
What does Vulnerability mean?
|
Standard procedures to be adopted in a disaster-prone area:
For the sake of convenience at the administrative level, the ‘Vulnerability to a disaster is often dissociated from the ‘people’s socio-economic status.
It must be noted that, while doing so the root cause of the issue gets ignored. Such a dissociated approach has led to more disaster vulnerabilities among poor communities as disaster-prone areas in India are a result of unequal development or overexploitation of resources.
Verifying, please be patient.
