Kerala announces township project for landslide-hit Wayanad amid tussle over Centre aid

Hindustan Times  

The Kerala government on Wednesday approved a comprehensive rehabilitation project for landslide ravaged Wayanad district amid tussle with the Centre over the alleged lack of financial assistance. The chief minister said the government will ensure that rehabilitation measures also comprise livelihood opportunities in sectors like agriculture, animal husbandry, and micro-entrepreneurship among others to help survivors move on with their lives. On Centre's declaration Vijayan said the declaration of the landslide as a “calamity of a severe nature” was not indicated in the Centre's communication regarding financial assistance to the state, loan waiver for disaster victims or relaxation of norms for the disbursement of funds from the State Disaster Response Fund. The chief minister claimed that delay in the Centre's declaration by more than two months post-disaster led to loss of additional social assistance from United Nations institutions and NGOs.
