Priyanka Gandhi Demands Fair Relief for Wayanad

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to convert the relief package for Wayanad's landslide victims into a grant. She highlighted the ongoing hardships faced by residents and criticized the conditional loan-like relief. Gandhi advocates for equitable support to facilitate recovery and rehabilitation.

In a heartfelt plea to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has requested the conversion of Wayanad's relief package into a grant. Citing the unimaginable hardships following last year's devastating landslides, Gandhi emphasized the need for decisive government support.

The catastrophe that struck on July 30, 2024, led to significant loss of lives and property, with 298 fatalities and widespread destruction of homes and institutions. Economically, the landslide crippled 110 acres of agricultural land and left many without livelihoods.

Gandhi criticized the central government's conditional relief package, distinguishing it as a loan rather than a grant. She called for compassion, urging an extension in the implementation timeline to aid the resilient yet struggling inhabitants of Wayanad.
