New Delhi, August 1
Former Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi today termed Tuesday’s landslides in the Kerala district a “national disaster” and sought a comprehensive action plan even as the administration said 190 persons had been confirmed dead and more than 200 missing.
The deceased included 27 children and 76 women, and 107 bodies have been identified. “In all, 234 persons were admitted to hospitals,” said an official. Rahul and his sister Priyanka Vadra reached Wayanad today. Union Minister George Kurien continued to oversee rehabilitation efforts, having landed two days ago. Meanwhile, the Kerala Government today passed an order restraining scientists from sharing opinions or study reports with the media on Wayanad.— TNS
