FROM the moment survivors at the Meppadi relief camp learned of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's upcoming visit, a wave of anticipation swept through those affected by the devastating landslide in Chooralmala and Mundakkai.
Among them, Naseema, who resides at the camp housed in St. Joseph's Girls Higher Secondary School, stepped forward with a heartfelt request: she wished to speak with the Prime Minister. Driven by her deep desire to share her experiences and find solace, Naseema seized the opportunity. She was determined to unburden herself of the overwhelming grief and fear that had haunted her since the disaster. "Since the day we were shifted to the camp, many of us could not sleep as the sight of the landslide rolling towards us flashes before our eyes," Naseema said.
