Thundering sound from under earth at Pothukal in Kerala’s Malappuram

Residents of Anakkallu in Pothukal panchayat, Kerala, were startled by a loud sound from under the earth, similar to thunder, on October 29, 2024. Despite no official reports of a tremor, people felt like there was one, with one house even developing a crack. Revenue officials assisted in relocating residents to nearby villages as a precaution. This incident brought back memories of the tragic landslide in Kavalappara in 2019, where 59 people lost their lives. The situation in Anakkallu is being monitored closely to ensure the safety of residents.
