Army's herculean rescue effort is hope amid despair in Wayanad

Indian Army is conducting a daring rescue operation in the region hit with horrific landslides owing to heavy rainfall. Over 150 people have died and 180 are missing. Hundreds of people are feared to be trapped. Mundakkai, Chooralmala, Attamala and Noolpuzha are the affected areas. The hilly topography makes it highly susceptible to landslides. The lack of a proper drainage system and erosion control measures exacerbated the issue.
