Two Years After Wayanad Landslides, Survivors Face Ongoing Challenges and GriefPreviousNext

Two years after the devastating Mundakkai-Chooralmala landslides in Wayanad, Kerala, survivors continue to cope with loss and trauma from the disaster that claimed 298 lives. Many have moved into government-built rehabilitation housing in Kalpetta, but challenges remain, including inadequate infrastructure, poor road access, waste management issues, and livelihood concerns. Memorial events reflect ongoing grief, while recent nearby landslide incidents have renewed fears among residents, highlighting the long-term impact on the community.
