News Desk – Heavy rains in Kerala’s Wayanad district caused landslides on Tuesday, leading to the deaths of at least 36 people and injuring many others. The destruction also included the collapse of a major bridge, which has made it very difficult for rescue teams to reach the people who need help.
The area affected is known for its tea and cardamom farms. Many workers who lived in temporary shelters are missing, and the landslides have destroyed houses and blocked roads. The Indian Army is trying to build a temporary bridge to get to the affected people, and helicopters are also being used to help with the rescue efforts.
Officials are worried as they continue to find more victims in the rivers and debris. The constant heavy rain and fog are making the rescue operations even harder, and they fear the number of deaths may increase.
This region is prone to landslides and has seen similar tragic events in the past. The government is aware of the risks and is trying to help those affected. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised support and money to help the families of those who died.
