A Telugu IAS officer is being hailed as a hero in the devastating floods in Kerala as his timely intervention has resulted in two lakh people being evacuated to safety in just 48 hours in what has come to be known as ‘Operation Kuttanad’.

Krishna Teja Mylavarapu from Chilkalurpet in Guntur of Andhra Pradesh is the sub-collector of Alappuzha. As soon as Krishna Teja was posted as sub-collector of Alappuzha, he did what he loved to do most. In about two or three months, he practically traveled across the entire area under his jurisdiction, not once but several times. He had absolute knowledge of low-lying areas and when it struck him that the area could be flooded, he got down to action.
