Kerala floods have made 14 lakh people homeless leading to the death of nearly 300 people.  The deluge destroyed the homes, flora and fauna, killed animals and left major part of the state with very less to identify anything including roads.

Further speaking about the floods and victims, Anand Mahindra also appreciated Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan's decision to not only re-build Kerala but also build new, modern, infrastructure. He told that the entire country will join hands in doing so.

An admirable statement. Because the only silver lining to such a natural disaster is if it is seen as an opportunity not just to rebuild the old, but to build new, modern infrastructure. The entire country will support efforts to build #ANewKerala We will do our bit... https://t.co/LVJchCgCau
