IUML Completes First Phase of Housing for Wayanad Landslide Survivors

Fifty-one families displaced by the Mundakkai-Chooralmala landslide in Kerala's Wayanad have received new homes through an Indian Union Muslim League (IUML)-led rehabilitation effort. The houses, featuring modern amenities, were handed over at Vellithode in Thrikkaipatta, with a formal ceremony attended by IUML leaders. The project aims to build 105 homes, including community facilities, supported by a crowdfunding campaign via a mobile app. Prayers reflecting beneficiaries' diverse religious beliefs were part of the event.
