Noorudheen was elected as the ward member of Chooralmala (ward number 12), a quaint idyllic village in the Meppadi panchayat of Kerala’s Wayanad, four years ago in 2020. Today, the village is little more than a name. In the early hours of July 30, a series of devastating landslides had struck the village and vast swathes of land surrounding it, sweeping away Chooralmala in almost its entirety.
