On the 7th day of Wayanad landslide, the rescue team found 2 bodies. With this, the death toll in this tragedy reached 387. 180 people are still missing. The search for these missing people is still on.

According to the information, of the two bodies found on Sunday (August 4, 2024), one was found from Parpanpara and the other from Nilambur. Seven body parts were recovered from Nilambur and one body part from Soochipara. At the same time, 172 out of 387 bodies have been identified. 8 bodies were cremated on Sunday, while the rest will be cremated today.

Not many people are allowed to go to Ken Hill today

Amidst all this, the rescue team will go to Ken Hill for search today, but more people will be banned from going here. In fact, the 18 people who went for the search on Sunday were trapped on the mountain there. Therefore, there will be a ban on more people going. At the same time, efforts will also be made today to bring back the trapped people.

The team will also descend into the Chaliyar river in search of the missing people

The search for the missing people in the Mundakkai landslide will continue in the Chaliyar river today as well. A search team led by panchayat members will descend into each ward at 8 am and look for the missing. To speed up the inspection of the affected areas, four more specially trained 'dogs' from the army will be brought to Wayanad by air from Meerut.

Schools opened, relief camps will remain closed for now

On the other hand, after continuous holidays in Wayanad, schools also opened from today (5 August 2024). Holidays will continue in schools where relief camps are running. Apart from these, further investigation will be done by comparing the old contour map of the landslide area with the new map prepared using drones and calculating the difference in height after the soil and rock has accumulated in the area.
