Wayanad township: Second-phase house construction to be completed by October 31 Kerala’s Agriculture Minister T. Siddique announced that the second phase of house construction for survivors of the Mundakkai-Chooralmala landslides will be completed by October 31. The announcement came after he chaired a review meeting on the rehabilitation of disaster survivors at the Wayanad District Collectorate in Kalpetta on October 5. The minister stated that the draw of lots for allocating the houses will take place on November 1, 2026. In the first phase of the construction, 178 houses were built, with 177 families having relocated to the new township located at Elstone Estate, Kalpetta. The remaining 149 houses are nearing completion and will be finished by the end of October. The minister highlighted that infrastructure projects such as an anganwadi, market, public toilets, playground, and health centre will be completed by November. Internal road construction within the township is scheduled for completion by December. Plans to establish a parade ground and a school in the area are currently under active consideration. Additionally, the tendering process for a ₹15-crore skill park aimed at providing employment opportunities to survivors will commence this month. The Cabinet subcommittee has approved guidelines for disbursing financial assistance related to loan liabilities, damaged buildings, and affected traders. State Disaster Management Authority officials are set to visit Kalpetta on October 8 and 9 to finalize beneficiary lists through consultations with local representatives and survivors. Officials have also confirmed that ₹2 lakh is being allocated to families who have lost their livelihoods under the micro-plan scheme. So far, 370 families have received financial aid. Debris-clearing work, part of a larger ₹194-crore river protection initiative, has resumed, with costs reaching ₹50.05 crore. A landslide and flood early warning system is also planned as part of the project. The minister directed authorities to prioritize the safe removal and disposal of excavated materials from the Anakkampoyil-Kalladi twin-tunnel project and to address any concerns regarding the distribution of free ration to affected families.
