Inhuman Response: Centre Criticized Over Wayanad Landslide Relief

Senior Congress leader KC Venugopal criticized the Centre's inadequate response to the Wayanad landslide victims, demanding an immediate loan waiver. The Public Accounts Committee echoed this call, citing the delayed and insufficient relief measures provided, which have been deemed unfair and impractical for the affected individuals.

Senior Congress leader KC Venugopal has sharply criticized the Centre's approach towards the victims of the Wayanad landslides, describing it as inhuman. He urged the government to provide an immediate loan waiver to those affected by the catastrophe.

In a statement on social media platform X, Venugopal condemned the Centre's response as a wholly unacceptable handling of a once-in-a-lifetime tragedy, highlighting the Public Accounts Committee's demand for urgent action.

Venugopal alleged that the government's delayed relief measures, presented in the form of a loan with unworkable conditions, have demonstrated a glaring apathy towards the disaster-stricken people of Kerala. The call for action comes as the Congress party continues to advocate for substantial relief efforts for the victims who have suffered significant losses.
