At least 150 people have been killed and dozens are still feared trapped in the devastating triple landslides that hit Wayanad in Kerala on July 30, with the death toll seemingly rising as rescue and recovery efforts continue. The landslides, triggered by torrential rains, struck the Chooralmala and Mundakkai regions of Meppadi in Wayanad between 1.30 am and 3 am, sweeping away large swathes of lands and destroying the villages and tea estates dotting the region.
Wayanad is a hilly district located in the Western Ghats mountain range, particularly prone to landslides in the monsoons. The latest landslides are the worst to hit Kerala since 2020, when a landslide in Pettimudi in the Idukki district of Kerala killed 66 people.

While I appreciate the efforts of Indian Army to build a bridge over a just 150 feet river and they are making their full efforts. However despite 2 days if our Army engineering team is not able to build a bridge then we have to think how much we need to improve in our engineering and modernization in Indian Army.

[@louisfernandez1929]

Kerala tragedy is a man made disaster. Many reports and articles published in 2018, in cluding Kadthurirangan’s recommendations. But the Govt. did not take it seriously. People say its due to corruption. What is next?

[@manazkajay8806]

Why spreading fake information, on what basis you are claiming this was a man-made disaster, just go through google view of location of the disaster, you don't find any man made construction from the land slide had started
