My family and I were saved only because I went to see my mother. Everything is gone. There is only this dress which is worn now. It is all given by God. let’s go A family in the neighborhood left. They could not be saved. There were houses all over this visible area. There are around 250 houses near it. The death toll cannot be said at this time.
We escaped from here thanks to the luck of my uncle and children. None of us knew something like this would happen here. We had that much faith. There is no waterfall on this route. There was nothing like this here.
Very beautiful place. This is a crowded place. Our destiny. What else to say. This is the reaction of a person who survived the landslide. Heartbreaking scenes in Wayanad and Kozhikode hospitals. Twenty-six dead bodies have been brought to Mepadi Family Health Center alone. The bodies of twelve women, thirteen men and one child are found here. All are from Churalmala side. Reports say that only six people have been identified. Those who go to the hospital crying looking for their loved ones are also a sight of tears.
It rained for two days in Wayanad at the rate of one bucket per drop. And the woodcutter. Mundakai and Churalmala were also rained on Monday night. No one would have thought that it would lead to such great destruction. It was all in a moment. Roll stole everything. It is still unclear how many people died. Those who are still alive have not yet recovered from the shock.
Those who had regained their lives clutched their remaining souls and wept bitterly. Some screamed for the lives of their loved ones. Mepadika was the first to hear that cry. They rushed to the disaster in the cars they could find. Those covered in mud and the injured were shifted to the hospital. And those who had played, those who had worked, those who had known for years were gathered from the thornbush and under the stone. It was a mind-numbing sight everywhere. Those who passed away in their own homes passed away and came to the nearby district. 19 dead bodies washed up in Nilambur Chaliyar. Not sure how many more to come. The darkness of worry is all these days. Toramaza is leaving behind a great disaster that Kerala has not seen till date.
Mundakai region of Wayanad is completely isolated from landslides. The rescue workers could not reach Mundakai, which was heavily damaged. Although there is information that a team of NDRF has reached here, the people on the spot say that they cannot evacuate the people by road. The main challenge to reach by road was the complete collapse of the bridge to Mundakai. About 250 people are reportedly trapped in Mundakai. Many houses were washed away. It is reported that nine laiams in the area and four staff quarters in the estate were washed away. 65 families lived here. There are also reports that 35 workers working in connection with the estate are missing.
District Panchayat President Samshad Maraikkar said that the main challenge now is to reach Mundakai. Not accessible by road. Communication is also a challenge. At present, efforts are being made to rope the NDRF to Mundakai. Those stranded by road cannot be brought back. Either a temporary bridge should be constructed. Otherwise, he said, only the possibility of airlifting is ahead. Churalmala has also suffered heavy damage. The rescue operation is going on here. Many houses were washed away here. Many people were rescued, including two foreigners who were in a homestay. The district panchayat president responded that the rescue workers are now checking all the houses.
