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.

The landslide, which hit Wayanad on July 31, killed 231 people. It caused massive destruction in Punchirimattam, Chooralmala, and Mundakkai villages, along with parts of Attamala.

Shah Assures Response by Thursday

Gandhi informed reporters that Shah promised to provide details of the relief package by Thursday evening. She criticized the lack of significant aid, despite the Prime Minister’s visit to the affected areas in September.
