So much damage has been done so far
The death toll in the landslide after heavy rains in Wayanad has reached close to 256. On Monday, the strong flow of water from the hill in Wayanad changed the direction of the flow of the Iruvazhinji river, due to which everything on its banks got submerged. Now only debris is visible here instead of greenery. Before the landslide, this river was flowing in a straight line and villages were settled on the banks, but now the river has swallowed the entire area. Due to continuous rain, difficulties are also being faced in rescue operations.
The PM had made this announcement
According to the information, a landslide occurred in Wayanad at around 2 am on Tuesday, 27 July. After this, a landslide occurred again at around 4.10 am. Due to the landslide, more than 116 people were trapped in the debris, a rescue operation was launched to take them out. With the progress of the rescue operation, the death toll increased further. Keeping this disaster in mind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced a compensation of Rs 2 lakh from the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund to the families of those who lost their lives due to the landslide in Wayanad. Apart from this, an announcement was also made to give Rs 50 thousand to the injured.
