News India Live, Digital Desk: Wayanad Tragedy in Kerala: A big controversy has arisen between the central government and the state government over the sharing of money over the terrible landslide tragedy in Wayanad district of Kerala. The central government has recently sanctioned ₹ 260.56 crore for the work of dealing with and reconstructing the devastation in Wayanad, but the demand of the Kerala government was ₹ 2221.05 crore. Such a big difference has now started a new debate.
Recently, the terrible landslides in Wayanad had taken many lives and made millions of people homeless. Large-scale properties were damaged and normal life was completely disturbed. After this serious disaster, the Kerala government had demanded a huge amount of ₹ 2221.05 crore from the Center under the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) and other schemes, so that relief and rehabilitation work could be done rapidly in the affected areas.
However, the central government has approved only ₹ 260.56 crore, citing the report of the Central Inter-Ministerial team and various rules. This decision has raised many questions in Kerala. Both the state government and the opposition are expressing dissatisfaction over this decision of the Center. He says that this amount is insufficient to compensate for the loss caused by a big tragedy like Wayanad. The Chief Minister has appealed to the Center to reconsider and give funds according to the real needs of the state.
This case has now taken political color. The politicians of Kerala are alleging that the central government is discriminating against the state during natural disasters. At the same time, the Center says that they have approved assistance according to the rules and procedures. The biggest disadvantage of this entire tussle is happening to thousands of people of Wayanad who are still waiting for government help to return to normal life. It has to be seen when and how the end of this dispute and when the victims get full help for their rights.
