Wayanad Landslide: Central government issued advance warning but Kerala government did not heed, says Amit Shah
While drawing attention to the situation arising out of the devastating landslide in Wayanad district, Shah said the Kerala government was not even warned due to the arrival of the 9th Battalion of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF).
As Wayanad was devastated by landslides, resulting in the loss of several lives, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday accused the Kerala government in Parliament of ignoring his July 23 warning of a possible natural disaster in the region and ignoring excess rains.
He, however, said the Union government would work resolutely with the Kerala government in dealing with the aftermath of the Wayanad landslide. Talking about the situation following the devastating landslides in Wayanad Shah, he said the Kerala government was not alerted by the arrival of nine battalions of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) either, adding that several lives could have been saved had they come and acted in a timely manner.
