HC slams state over lack of clarity on SDRF

When a case initiated suo motu regarding the Wayanad landslides came up for hearing, the court said: "If the state government is not able to give a statement regarding the fund, even an approximate figure, there is no point in having the discussion saying, 'we have not got this money... we don't have the funds'. The Wayanad landslide happened in July and still there is no clarity. Every day in the news, we see claims that 'Centre is not disbursing funds', and this blame game continues."
