Kerala: Wayanad landslides toll crosses 300; Rescue operations still underway

Wayanad toll mounts to 308

Wayanad: Kerala Health Minister Veena George on Friday confirmed 308 deaths in the multiple landslides that hit Wayanad on July 30.

The rescue and relief operations are underway in Chooralmala and Mundakkai in the Meppadi region where the landslides wreaked havoc.

The Army earlier today handed over the 190-feet Bailey Bridge to the civil administration which was built over the Iruvanjippuzha river connecting the regions Chooralmala and Mundakkai, isolated by the landslides.

A Defence statement said that high earth movement equipment was shifted to the other side and vehicle movement was being regulated by the civil administration. (with Agency inputs)
