Wayanad Landslide: Heavy Rain Triggers Landslide at Wayanad Tunnel Project Site

Wayanad Landslide: Heavy rainfall in Kerala has triggered another landslide in Wayanad, disrupting work at the Anakkampoyil Kalladi tunnel construction site. The incident occurred near the Meenakshi Bridge in Kalladi on Tuesday morning after overnight rain weakened the hillside.

Rescue teams responded immediately after the landslide buried parts of the construction area. Several workers who were trapped under mud and debris were safely rescued, while officials believe a few others may still be trapped beneath the rubble.

Emergency personnel have launched an extensive search and rescue operation using heavy machinery to clear the debris. Authorities are working carefully due to unstable ground conditions caused by the continuing rain.

The incident has once again highlighted the vulnerability of hilly regions in Kerala during the monsoon season. Continuous rainfall has increased the risk of landslides, prompting officials to closely monitor sensitive locations across the district.

Local authorities have urged residents and workers in landslide prone areas to remain alert and follow safety instructions until weather conditions improve. Further details regarding casualties or damage are expected after the rescue operation is completed.
