Wayanad landslide survivors recall scary experiences

The Hindu  

Avanthika is in deep sleep at the orthopaedics ward of Dr. Moopen’s Medical College Hospital, Wayanad, near Meppadi. “Please don’t wake my child now, she will start asking for her parents and brother,” Avanthika’s grandmother Lakshmi implores a nurse passing by. Avanthika lost her father Prashob, an autorickshaw driver, mother Vijayalakshmi, a tea estate worker at Harrisons Malayalam Plantation, and 14-year-old brother Achu in the catastrophic landslides that struck Chooralmala on July 30. “I found myself being thrown around with rocks and logs and finally got stuck on a stone wall of the Mundakkai LP school.” Anil, however, could survive with injuries all over his body and his left shoulder and spinal cord fractured. Two among them had gone missing after the landslides and her friend Priyadarshini, a nurse, was rescued and left for Odisha two days ago, says Dr. Narayanan.
