Wayanad Landslide Disaster: Over 100 Bodies Recovered,

Rescue Operations Continue

In a devastating series of landslides that struck Wayanad, Kerala, over 100 bodies have been recovered, with more casualties feared. Major General VT Mathew, General Officer Commanding, Karnataka and Kerala Sub Area, reported that more than 500 Army personnel are actively involved in the ongoing search and rescue operations.


Details of the Incident


Two major landslides occurred in the early hours of July 30 in Mundakkai and Churalmala, Wayanad, resulting in widespread destruction. According to the Kerala Revenue Department, 167 people have been confirmed dead. The landslides caused severe damage to infrastructure, including homes and roads, and have significantly disrupted rescue efforts.


Rescue and Relief Efforts


The Army, in collaboration with the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and other agencies, is working to rescue survivors and recover bodies. A critical aspect of the operation involves constructing a bridge to access affected areas, which is expected to be completed soon. This bridge will facilitate the deployment of heavy equipment necessary for clearing debris and conducting thorough searches.


Kerala Health Minister Veena George reported that 154 bodies have been handed over to the district administration, with genetic sampling being conducted for identification. The Army and Air Force have been deploying helicopters to deliver food and essential supplies to isolated areas.


Political and Governmental Response


The disaster has prompted a significant response from both state and central governments. Union Home Minister Amit Shah emphasized the importance of early warnings and the need for prompt action to minimize losses. He expressed support for the Kerala government and people, pledging assistance regardless of political differences.


Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, along with senior officials, is visiting Wayanad to oversee the situation and coordinate relief efforts. Union Minister George Kurien, representing the Prime Minister's Office, highlighted the federal government's commitment to providing aid, including financial compensation for the victims' families.


Challenges and Ongoing Efforts


Rescue operations face challenges due to adverse weather conditions and difficult terrain, including swollen water bodies and damaged infrastructure. Despite these obstacles, the Madras Engineers Group (MEG) team is making progress on essential infrastructure repairs, demonstrating resilience and dedication.


Conclusion


The Wayanad landslide disaster has underscored the vulnerability of certain regions to natural disasters and the critical need for preparedness and rapid response. As rescue operations continue, the focus remains on saving lives, providing relief to affected communities, and rebuilding damaged infrastructure.
