Due to the heavy rains and landslides, Churalamala is one of the four most affected villages. Rahul visited Churalamala and witnessed firsthand the devastation caused by nature. It is worth mentioning that Rahul Gandhi is a former Member of Parliament from Wayanad. This time, he has also been elected from Raebareli, leading him to leave the Wayanad constituency.<\/p>\n

In the upcoming by-election for this constituency, Priyanka Gandhi is expected to contest on behalf of the Congress party. After arriving in Wayanad today, she, along with others, will not only talk to the affected families but also meet with administrative officials at the location to understand the ongoing rescue operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On July 30th, a Tuesday, heavy rainfall caused landslides that destroyed several villages in Wayanad, including Churalmala, Mundakai, Attamala, and Nulppuzha. These villages were key tourist destinations in Wayanad. Currently, these villages have turned into ruins, and the death toll has risen to 276. Additionally, over 200 people are still trapped in the debris or remain unaccounted for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
