India: Landslides in Kerala Kill At Least 80, Hundreds Trapped Under Debris

In the Indian state of Kerala’s Wayanad district massive landslides have hit the hilly areas near Meppadi. At least eighty dead bodies have been recovered so far and the authorities say that several hundred are still trapped under the debris. The landslides have been triggered by the incessant rain battering the region. The chief minister of Kerala, Pinarayi Vijayan says all the government agencies have come together to help in the rescue missions. India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences on social media and announced an ex-gratia amount of Rs 2 Lakh for the families of the deceased and Rs 50,000 for the ones who sustained injuries. According to reports, the ongoing heavy rain is complicating the rescue efforts.

Wait… so cricketers get crores in prize money while families of those who are critically injured get 50, 000? Where is the fairness in that?

3:12 India must always remember the remarkable day December 8, 2021. An Indian highest priority VIP helicopter mission transporting India's most important senior commander Bipin as well as many of India's most highest ranking captains, generals, officers, chiefs, squadron leaders all onboard crashed resulting in the death of all 14 passengers. If India cannot even guarantee their most senior military officer safety during a short and simple 4 minute flight, how can they possibly accomplish anything?

It's very sad to watch this news early in the morning here. Mountainous areas, coastlines, and Islands are at big risk. The world is in chaos most don't realize, this is a time for serious preparedness.

Constructing residence along the foothill should be avoided, especially where it rains more.

This is a particularly major disaster. The government should strictly hold those responsible accountable. Failure to do timely prevention and evacuation rescue work.

Landslides are the result of indiscriminate human practices not incessant rains. Feel very sad for all the suffering.
