Increasing incidences of open well subsidence during monsoon has become a major concern for the people in Wayanad.
More than 10 such incidences, mainly from Vythiri and Mananthavady taluks, have been reported in the district in two months this year.
Sinking of open wells was rare in the region, but such incidences have increased after the floods in 2018, said the farming community. Most of the wells were destroyed fully during the deluge.
