The entire stretch of land of sweet water zone, in Puri, is being occupied by real estate agents, and they destroy the age old jungles there which is meant to stop the aggression of sea water and cyclones. Puri is a land where there is plenty of water but less drinking water and the sweet water is already occupied and now after honorable SC verdict, the entire forced occupation is going to be vacated and mostly resorts and hotels are there, it is a good move as it is apparent due to the connivance of leaders and local powerful people, the lands are up for grabs, the real estate would be destroyed within some months but what abt, jungles which are being cut and ripped apart.
It is predicted by the scientists in of National Research Council, USA, that the situation is likely to become even worse with the climate and that the time to receive warnings and take preventive measures is likely to reduce greatly!

Obviously! Even advance warnings would always have limitations. For example, if we allow reckless settlement of people along the coastal belts in huge numbers, it would be near to impossible to shift such multitudinous people to safer places on an advance notice of a few hours or even a day.
And more plans are on the way to reclaim more land along Mumbai coastline to make space of ever-increasing populations! :blink: Due to instability of reclaimed land, every years lots of accidents occur such as buildings sinking, roads breaking etc. and still we never learn!
The coastal regions are most vulnerable for its fragile ecological character and as you have mentioned the massive problem of Mumbai, the scenario is more or less the same of all the coastal belts in India. In West Bengal the sea beach of Digha is one such theater of environmental and ecological degradation. Countless hotels have been permitted to come up in a blatant violation of all laws in this regard despite grim warnings of scientists!!
This is new to me and this year, one after another cyclone is touching east and southern side of India, some thing is wrong and earth's fury one day will destroy all of us and it is time to act and time to stay safe and secure.It is predicted by the scientists in of National Research Council, USA, that the situation is likely to become even worse with the climate and that the time to receive warnings and take preventive measures is likely to reduce greatly!

I live in a most vulnerable coastal region and almost on the shores of Bay of Bay Bengal. Whenever there is a cyclone warning we spend sleepless nights. We faced already 3 cyclones that left a trail of destruction of immense magnitude.
As if this not enough, a new cyclone is predicted. which is named as "Madi". Now this is located 500 Km from the Chennai shores and progressing steadily towards the coast.. So, we are destined to have some more sleepless nights gripped in fear and anxiety. Please pray for us.

Yes "Madi" is the new cyclone and it's intensity is yet to be estimated by the meteorologists. Only one thing can be done to minimize the effects of devastation. A strong preparedness to face any eventuality.

The only thing that can save us from or at least minimise the destruction from such cyclones is planting more trees and conserving what we already have. After the tsunami in the Indian Ocean in 2004, studies revealed that indigenous tribes from Andaman & Nicobar Islands had foreseen the signs and had retreated deep into the forests before Tsunami struck and therefore those people suffered the minimum damage. While civilized people staying in coastal areas, who did not know how to interpret changes in nature were worst off! But we still never learn adn we keep destroying natural treelines that are present on the shores!
