After Kerala Flood, A Sand Strip That Splits This Sea Into Two Halves Has Surfaced

The residents of Ponnani in Kerala's Malappuram were in for a pleasant surprise after the water from the recent floods receded. A new island-like structure has surfaced along their beach. The narrow sand strip which is well over half a kilometre long has literally split the sea into two!?

The sand strip is now attracting many tourists to the Ponnani Beach, who venture into the sea, walking the entire stretch. While tourists continue to flock to catch a glimpse of it, authorities have warned that the sand strip could be washed away in the case of a high tide.?

Even though, it was not immediately clear what was behind the formation of the unusual structure, many believe that the sand which was swept away from the Bharathapuzha and got deposited in Ponnani might have caused the phenomenon.
