In the wake of a devastating landslide that has claimed over 93 lives in Kerala's Wayanad district, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has mobilized its helicopters for a critical rescue mission.
The landslide, which struck the Chooralmala area earlier today, has buried homes and infrastructure under tons of debris, complicating rescue efforts.
The IAF helicopters are playing a pivotal role in reaching the affected areas, navigating the challenging terrain and adverse weather conditions to deliver aid and evacuate survivors.
As the scale of the disaster becomes increasingly clear, the operation underscores the urgency and intensity of the response needed to address this tragic event and provide relief to those impacted.
In response to a devastating landslide that struck Kerala's Wayanad district early Tuesday, the Southern Command of the Indian Army has mobilised two rescue columns to support the rescue operations. Alongside, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has deployed two helicopters from the Sulur Air Force Station in Coimbatore to assist in the effort. The landslide has resulted in at least 50 fatalities and left hundreds trapped under debris in the areas of Meppadi, Mundakkai Town, and Chooralmala. The rescue operation, prompted by a request from the Kerala government, faces significant challenges due to adverse weather conditions and damaged infrastructure. Several houses, shops, and vehicles have been buried, and a key bridge leading to the affected area has been washed away, complicating the efforts to reach those in need.

Dr. Sekhar Lukose Kuriakose, Member Secretary of Kerala State Disaster Management, provided insight into the catastrophic landslide in Wayanad. He explained that the disaster was caused by a unique hydrological phenomenon where "1 river became 2 rivers." This splitting of the waterway likely led to increased erosion and instability in the surrounding terrain. The unusual water flow pattern overwhelmed the landscape's natural capacity to absorb and channel water, ultimately triggering the deadly landslide that devastated the region.
