Two young bureaucrats were at the helm of coordinating the administrative efforts in Kerala's flood-hit Chengannur when the district was cut off and inundated. At the same time 2 lakh people had to be evacuated from Kuttanad almost simultaneously. The bureaucrats' efforts have paid off and lakhs of people are finally set to return to Kuttanad in Kerala's Alappuzha in hundreds of boats as water levels recede. District administration is set to begin en masse cleaning drives.
