Death toll likely to go up as hundreds feared trapped amid continuing rains in the hilly district of Wayanad in KeralaIgnatius of Loyola – A patron for the Jubilee YearAt least 90 people were killed when portions of a hill with several homes slipped off into a river as people slept in the early hours of July 30 amid torrential rains in southern India.
Over 116 victims are undergoing treatment at different hospitals in the state. As the district reels under heavy rains, more landslides are feared. The state government has restricted access to the affected areas. However, tourism developments have increased in the district, known for its protected forests and green cultivation.“Some foreign tourists are also reportedly trapped,” said the priest, and added that the situation was alarming “as the rains were continuing.”
Calicut diocese, which also covers the affected area, has given its “two churches and two schools to the government agencies to use as temporary shelter camps,” said Father Alfred Vadakkethundil, diocesan social work director.
