Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured full support to survivors of the recent landslide in Wayanad, Kerala, emphasizing the government\u2019s dedication to managing the crisis and providing relief. In a statement following his visit to the affected areas, Modi expressed deep empathy and a personal connection to the disaster, drawing on his past experience with a similar tragedy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been constantly in touch with authorities to assess the situation,\u201d Modi said. \u201cThis is not a normal disaster, and helping the survivors is our topmost priority.\u201d He detailed his visit to relief camps, where he met survivors and listened to their accounts of the incident. Modi also mentioned that he had dispatched a central team of ministers to the region, who met with Kerala\u2019s Chief Minister. The CM is expected to send a detailed memorandum regarding the incident.<\/p>\n
Modi reflected on his own experience with a major disaster from his past, recalling the Morbi dam collapse in Gujarat 45-47 years ago. \u201cDuring that tragedy, heavy rains destroyed the dam, leading to catastrophic flooding in Morbi city. I stayed there for about six months as a volunteer, witnessing firsthand the scale of the disaster,\u201d he noted. He assured that the central and state governments would leave no stone unturned in their efforts to support the survivors and address the current situation.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister\u2019s visit and statements underscore the government\u2019s commitment to providing immediate assistance and long-term support to those affected by the landslide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
