A team from IIT Roorkee, IIT Palakkad and IIIT Kottayam presented a roadmap to Chief Minister V D Satheesan. The initiative aims to identify flood-prone areas in advance and issue precise warnings. The IIT team recommended that any silt removal from rivers be done only after scientific assessment of environmental impact. The chief minister directed the Water Resources and Disaster Management departments to examine feasibility and funding, and submit a report within a month. ## Coverage - thefederal.com Tags: IIT Palakkad, IIT Roorkee, Kerala, Kerala Flood Resilience Initiative, V.D.
