Prime Minister Narendra Modi traveled to Wayanad district in Kerala today to survey the areas impacted by recent devastating landslides.

PM Modi’s schedule included visiting the landslide-hit regions, interacting with local residents, and reviewing the ongoing relief and rehabilitation efforts.

He also attended a high-level meeting to assess the ground situation and discuss further steps to support the affected communities.

This visit by the Prime Minister comes in the wake of heavy rains and deadly landslides that struck parts of Kerala earlier this month, causing significant damage to infrastructure and loss of life. Wayanad, which is the parliamentary constituency of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, was among the worst-affected areas.

“The Prime Minister’s visit is a strong signal of the central government’s commitment to stand with the people of Kerala during this challenging time,” said a senior official from the Prime Minister’s Office. “PM Modi is keen to get a firsthand understanding of the situation and ensure all necessary aid and resources are provided.”
