WAYANAD (Kerala), August 3, 2024 (TBINN)
Rescue teams have deployed advanced technical gadgets and dogs to pull out possible survivors or remove bodies buried under the debris created by one of the worst natural calamities to have struck Kerala, the Wayanad landslides, even as hands of friendship extended from far corners of the state to the hilly district.
Among them was a Kollam woman who has parted with her meagre savings to benefit the affected persons here. A tea-seller, Subaida may not have matched the businesspersons and celebrities who donated lakhs of rupees towards relief and rehabilitation efforts, but her contribution of Rs 10,000 and the family pensions was a gesture worth the mention.
Rescuers used G.P.S. co-ordinates from aerial drone pictures and cell phones, including the last location of people who lived in land-slides-hit areas of Wayanad to help locate survivors, amidst accelerated search operations after the completion of the 190-foot-long Bailey Bridge by the Army.
