Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, who were scheduled to meet with the families affected by the tragedy on Wednesday, postponed their visit to Wayanad. “..due to incessant rains and adverse weather conditions we have been informed by authorities that we will not be able to land,” Rahul posted on X.
With the Kerala government declaring a two-day state mourning, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan urged people to come together to rebuild destroyed livelihoods, similar to what they did after the 2018 floods in the state. Rescue efforts are underway as the army has deployed 200 soldiers from the Defence Security Corps and a medical team to assist with the rescue operations. Additionally, two helicopters from the Air Force Station in Sulur have been dispatched to aid in the efforts. Kerala CM Vijayan said that 45 camps have been set up in Wayanad, with more than 3000 people being rehabilitated.
