When Chemman Kadavu Was flooded (during 2007)

Chemmenkadavu was affected with a bad flood during 2007, as in many low laying parts of Malappuram District. Entire route to Cholakkal was flooded and many of the Houses on the bank of Kadalundi puza like in Kolakkattil Palliyali etc were completely affected with flood. During this flood water level of the Kadalundi puzha was touching the top of "Nooradi" Bridge, and places like Mylappuram, Kottappadi, Valiyangadi, Varangode etc were completely stranded. Select photos of flood affected Chemmen Kadavu will be added here soon.
