What Happened To The Wayanad Landslides

Death Toll and Missing Persons: The recent Wayanad landslides have resulted in at least 350 deaths and over 200 injuries, with 206 people still reported missing.

Rescue Operations: Rescue efforts are still ongoing, with the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard deploying teams to assist in search and rescue operations. Advanced radars and equipment, along with dog squads, are being used to detect signs of life beneath the soil.

 Relief Efforts: The Kerala government has set up 45 relief camps in the Wayanad district, accommodating over 4000 people. The state health department has also established a control room for assistance in case of emergency.

Causes of the Landslides: The landslides were triggered by heavy rains, which caused the collapse of hillsides, resulting in torrents of mud, water, and boulders cascading down onto the area. Deforestation and the resulting loss of green cover in the district may have contributed to the increased risk of flash floods and landslides 

Response and Aid: Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced payments of ₹2 lakh to relatives of the dead and ₹50,000  to each injured  The government of Tamil Nadu offered ₹5 crore for relief operations and sent medical and rescue teams. Various corporate entities and individuals have also donated to the disaster relief fund
