NEW DELHI, July 31, 2024 (TBINN)
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi today urged the government to extend all possible help to the people of land-slides-hit Wayanad and look into the “ecological issue” there.
Rahul Gandhi also urged the Centre to come up with a high-tech solution for preventing such tragedies in the future.
Speaking during the Calling Attention Motion over the loss of lives and property due to land-slides and floods in various parts of the country, Rahul Gandhi said a “huge tragedy” had taken place in Kerala’s Wayanad.
Rahul Gandhi lauded Military’s efforts there.
“I think it is very important that we support the people of Wayanad, that we give them as much support as possible and I request the government to help the people of Wayanad in this difficult time,” former Congress’ chief said.
“I think this is the second time this tragedy has taken place, it took place five years ago and it is quite clear that this area has an ecological issue, so this should be looked into. Whatever high-tech solution can be brought forward, that would be good,” Rahul Gandhi demanded.
The devastating series of land-slides in Kerala’s Wayanad District has claimed lives of at least 132 people and injured more than 200, with the toll expected to rise as rescuers search through the debris.
