Wayanad landslides: Kerala Cabinet resolves to rush more personnel and equipment to Wayanad

The Hindu  

A Cabinet meeting chaired by Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan early on July 31 decided to intensify the ongoing search and rescue mission in the landslide-ravaged Wayanad district by deploying more personnel and equipment. The Chief Minister’s Office said two Indian Army Human Assistance and Disaster Relief columns were airborne from Thiruvananthapuram and would reach Kozhikode soon. Meanwhile, a government official said the search for survivors at Mundakkai, one of the three landslide-hit localities in Wayanad, appeared to be entering a delicate new phase. Senior officials in Thiruvananthapuram said rescue workers found it extremely difficult to search the rust-coloured sludge, which is almost waist-deep at some points and littered with the detritus of collapsed houses, dead livestock and fallen trees, for bodies and survivors.
