IFE in relief camps used to be a routine for residents of Chellanam during rainy season. Monsoons bring monster waves that batter lives and livelihoods.
But, for the first time they slept in peace during the monsoon last year as the under-construction tetrapod seawall helped check tidal waves and brought peace to their lives.
The construction of the 7.36-km-long seawall, extending from Chellanam fishing harbour to Puthenthodu beach, was completed on December 31 as a new year's gift from the state government.
The government launched construction of the seawall in 2021 after a decade-long agitation by residents led by the Chellanam Kochi Janakeeya Vedi. The project was implemented by Uralungal Labour Contract Cooperative Society (ULCCS) with ₹344.2-crore funding from the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB).
