The flood situation in my parliamentary constituency, is grim. I’m monitoring the situation closely & have spoken to the Kerala CM and key Govt officials to expedite relief.

I will be reaching out to PM Modi as well to brief him & request Central Govt. assistance.

For the next few days I will be based in my Lok Sabha constituency, that has been ravaged by floods. I will be visiting relief camps across Wayanad and reviewing relief measures with District & State officials.

“Today is Eid and though I know that the people are distressed, I take this opportunity to wish all of you ‘Eid Mubarak’. We will use the spirit of Eid to help the people who are suffering,” said Gandhi.

Incessant rain and the consequent floods have caused widespread damage in Kerala. In Wayanad, the flood fury has resulted in 18 deaths and displacement of over 40,000 people, who have taken shelter in over 200 relief camps.

Having arrived in Wayanad on Sunday, Gandhi visited some relief camps at Malappuram and Kavalapara, where a mudslide on Friday wiped out an entire village. Over 50 people are still feared trapped under the debris.

He also took part in a review meeting called by the Malappuram District Collector. Gandhi will tour Wayanad on Monday and will return to Delhi on Tuesday.
