Declare Wayanad landslides 'calamity of severe nature' under MPLADS guidelines: MP Tharoor to Shah

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: Congress' Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor has urged Home Minister Amit Shah to declare the Wayanad landslides as a "calamity of severe nature" under the MPLADS guidelines to facilitate urgent assistance from MPs to the affected areas. In his letter to Shah, Tharoor said that on July 30, in the dead of night, a series of devastating landslides struck the Wayanad district of Kerala, claiming over a hundred lives and leaving many more severely injured in hospitals, while countless others remain missing, trapped beneath the debris. The rescue operations involving the armed forces, the Coast Guard, the National Disaster Response Force and other agencies continue their pitched battle against the vagaries of nature, he said. The landslides have wreaked havoc upon countless lives and as such, it is of grave importance to extend all possible support to the people of Wayanad, Tharoor stressed.
