Devastating landslides in Kerala's Wayanad district have claimed at least 156 lives and injured around 130 people following heavy rainfall. Rescue operations are underway, with NDRF and Army deployed. Several villages are severely affected, and many are feared trapped or washed away. Kerala's CM called it a "heart-wrenching disaster," declaring two days of state mourning. Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi postponed their visit to avoid interfering with rescue efforts, expressing solidarity and promising support to the affected region.

Ten of the total 14 districts in Kerala are among the 30 most landslide-prone districts in the country, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) noted in its 2023 report, raising alarm over the increasing vulnerability of the Western Ghats. But it has not slowed down the pace of development in the sensitive region, setting it up for one disaster after another, experts say. The risk assessment led by the Hyderabad-based National Remote Sensing Centre ranked Thrissur third among the most vulnerable districts after Rudraprayag and Tehri Garhwal in Uttarakhand.
