Prime Minister Narendra Modi carried out an aerial survey today over the landslide-stricken areas of Wayanad, Kerala, to evaluate the extent of the damage caused by recent landslides. The aerial inspection aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the devastation and to support coordinated relief efforts.
The recent landslides, triggered by intense monsoon rains, have caused significant destruction across Wayanad, leading to severe damage to infrastructure and displacing many residents. Modi’s aerial survey was intended to help gauge the full impact of the disaster and inform the central government’s response strategy.
“The scale of the damage we observed today is deeply concerning,” Prime Minister Modi said following the aerial survey. “The central government will ensure that immediate relief and long-term recovery efforts are prioritized to assist the people of Wayanad.”
During the survey, Modi was accompanied by senior officials and disaster management experts who provided detailed briefings on the current situation and ongoing relief operations. The aerial view is expected to assist in the effective allocation of resources and coordination between central and state authorities.
The central government is set to announce a comprehensive relief package to address the immediate needs of the affected population. This package is anticipated to include financial assistance, support for rebuilding damaged infrastructure, and aid for displaced families.
The Prime Minister’s visit also highlights the government’s commitment to disaster management and its support for state-led recovery efforts. By directly observing the impact of the landslides, Modi aims to ensure that relief measures are implemented efficiently and that the affected communities receive the necessary support to recover and rebuild.
As Wayanad embarks on the recovery process, the combined efforts of the central and state governments will be crucial in restoring normalcy and addressing both short-term and long-term needs. The government’s response is expected to play a key role in helping the region navigate the aftermath of this severe natural disaster.
