Union, state government cross swords over Wayanad tragedy

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : Several bodies still lie immersed under the rubble after the twin landslides that devastated two Wayanad villages, but the Union and state governments have engaged in a blame game over the tragedy. Home Minister Amit Shah set the ball rolling, telling Parliament that the state government did not heed the Centre’s warning. Earlier on Wednesday, Shah said the Centre had given an early warning to the state on July 23 itself. He said the Centre had issued early warnings on July 23, 24 and 25 about potential landslides, but the state did not take sufficient action to relocate people from vulnerable areas.
