Fisherman with a fresh catch

The dying islands

Even after technological advancement many villages in kerala still prevail on olden traditional methods.One such method of fishing is seen @ pic.This is remote area in Eranakulam dist. of kerala, people here still live in 1950's and they are happy with what they have.This place is a group of nine islands surrounded by the backwaters of periyar.Roadways to this area was set up in 2002 by the kerala gov.In olden times people used to travel by boats to the cities.Native people of this island is greatly depended on the resources from the river.Now the river is polluted to a large extend and people are trying to evacuate the place.Protest against the pollution is at a low ebb, people should come forward to preserve the natural beauty.Hope my beloved readers would support me to save the dying islands.Furter details will be posted in the upcomming days
