40 | But now they have to answer to the public. | Fa ankehitriny, tsy maintsy miatrika mitondra valin-kafatra ho an'ny vahoaka izy ireo. |
41 | Nelson Joseph, a resident in Idukki, countered the argument by saying the sole reason is not due to construction: | Nelson Joseph, mponia iray ao Idukki, dia nitsipaka ilay filazàna, tamin'ny fitenenany hoe Tsy noho ny asa fanorenana akory no mampihotsaka ny tany: |
42 | Who said it is due to development that Idukki is facing such a situation? | Iza no niteny fa noho ny fampandrosoana no nahatonga an'i Idukki hiatrika toe-javatra tahaka izao ? |
43 | I am from Idukki and I would like to know what development has been done in this area? | Avy any Idukki aho, ary tiako ho fantatra fampandrosoana toy inona no natao tany ? |
44 | There has been no infrastructure developments. | Tsy misy fampandrosoana ara-poto-drafitr'asa tany. |
45 | There is only a single road to Munnar where the landslide has happened. | Làlan-tokana mankany Munnara no any tamin'ny fotoana nitrangan'ny fihotsahan'ny tany. |
46 | Even before people started to live there, there has been landslides. | Eny fa na dia talohan'ny fanombohan'ny nitoeran'ny olona tany aza dia efa nisy ny fihotsahan'ny tany. |

57 | While victims r poor, beneficiaries r super rich. | Raha ny mahantra no tra-boina, ireo manakarem-be no mahazo tombon-tsoa. |
