Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on February 26 laid the foundation stone for a housing project for survivors of the 2024 landslides in Wayanad. The houses are being built under an initiative supported by the Indian National Congress to help families who lost their homes in the devastating landslides at Mundakkai and Chooralmala. During the event, Rahul Gandhi said the project aims to provide safe and permanent shelter to affected families and assured continued support for their rehabilitation. He also interacted with survivors and emphasized the need for long-term measures, including better disaster management systems and protection of ecologically sensitive areas. The housing project is part of broader rebuilding efforts in Wayanad, where many families are still recovering from the tragedy and working to rebuild their lives.
The new housing project aims to provide safe and permanent homes for those who lost everything. These houses are being constructed with improved safety measures and disaster-resilient features to ensure long-term protection. Beyond physical structures, the initiative represents a commitment to stand with the people during difficult times. Rehabilitation measures also include restoring roads, improving basic facilities, and supporting livelihoods to help families return to normal life. As Wayanad continues its recovery journey, leaders and authorities have reiterated their promise to remain by the side of the people, offering care, commitment, and hope for a stronger future.
