Rahul Gandhi Visits Chooralmala After Devastating Landslides Claim Over 250 Lives in Wayanad

Описание: The devastating landslides struck Mundakkai and Chooralmala in Wayanad, causing extensive destruction and claiming numerous lives. Authorities fear the death toll may rise as rescue teams work tirelessly to locate missing individuals in challenging terrain, hindered by the lack of heavy machinery.

On Thursday afternoon, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra arrived in Kerala to visit the affected areas and provide support. Despite a weather delay, they are set to tour various relief camps in Wayanad, accompanied by AICC general secretary and Alappuzha MP KC Venugopal.

Their itinerary includes stops at the Chooralmala landslide site, a Community Health Centre, Dr. Moopen’s Medical College, and two relief camps in Meppadi. Gandhi, who won the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in both the 2019 and 2024 elections, gave up the constituency after also winning in Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh. Priyanka Gandhi is expected to contest in Wayanad in an upcoming by-election.

Rescue workers highlight the urgent need for heavy machinery to clear uprooted trees and buried houses. "We are standing on the terrace of a building, and a stench is emanating from underneath, indicating the presence of bodies. The building is fully covered with mud and uprooted trees," one worker reported.
