Cross-State Collaboration: Karnataka's Offer of Aid to Wayanad Landslide Victims

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has offered to buy land in Wayanad, Kerala, to construct 100 houses for families affected by devastating landslides. Despite reiterating commitment, progress is delayed due to lack of communication from Kerala's government about implementation guidelines. Collaboration is sought to expedite relief efforts.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has reached out to his Kerala counterpart, Pinarayi Vijayan, with a proposal to buy land in Wayanad for housing families impacted by severe landslides.

In a letter dated December 9, which became public on Tuesday, Siddaramaiah reaffirmed his government's pledge to provide 100 houses for the victims, a promise made during his recent visit to the afflicted area.

The Chief Minister expressed concerns over delayed progress due to a lack of communication from Kerala regarding necessary implementation guidelines, urging Vijayan to engage in collaboration to carry out the relief efforts efficiently.
