Massive Damage in Wayanad Villages
Congress General Secretery highlighted the destruction caused by the landslide. “Entire villages are gone, families have lost everything, and no support system exists,” she said. In addition She warned that delays in aid would worsen the victims’ plight and tarnish the government’s image.
