KOCHI: The foundation stone for the model township for the survivors of Wayanad landslides that took place on July 30, 2024, would be laid on March 27, Kerala revenue minister K Rajan told the assembly on Tuesday.

Rajan's announcement came in response to an adjournment notice moved by Congress MLA T Siddique seeking to discuss the rehabilitation works in connection with the landslides that hit Meppadi in Wayanad.

"The Union government has denied funds in various schemes to the state citing excuses. Despite such difficulties, we have taken measures that will uplift the lives of the landslide survivors. Under the leadership of the chief minister, we will stand united as a team and carry out the rehabilitation works," said the revenue minister. "I am happy to announce that the foundation stone for the township in Wayanad will be laid on March 27," he said.
