Wayanad landslides: A problem of plenty as nearly 400 truckloads of surplus relief materials from T.N. may reach Wayanad soon

The Hindu  

Unless there is a change of plans in the eleventh hour, Wayanad is likely to be flooded with even more relief materials, which the survivors of the landslides already reportedly have in excess, as about 400 trucks from across Tamil Nadu are set to reach the district this weekend, warns Tamil Nadu Volunteers, a 10,000-strong registered body of volunteers recognised by the Tamil Nadu government. Yet, the unfolding chaos is due to the misguided enthusiasm of some social media influencers and vloggers who keep posting undated videos from Wayanad with requests for relief materials and even financial contributions complete with UPI and account details,” says Hari Krishnan N., chief coordinator of TN Volunteers and Social Initiatives and Outreach Head, IIT Madras BS Degree. Large number of vehicles turning up with relief materials may clog the already narrow alleys of Wayanad and even hamper the critical movement of ambulances, says Mr. Krishnan. If you have already bought relief materials, then distribute it to the needy around you,” TN Volunteers tells the people in Tamil Nadu and elsewhere.
