A scientist blamed soil erosion as the root cause of the problem. He claimed that more than 300-meter area of land submerged in the last 20 years.

"It is the effect of Vayu and not of monsoon. The type of waves of cyclone and monsoon are different," MeT scientist Aloysius Albuquerque Pai told ANI.
