Landslide wipes out rubber plantation in Malappuram
The Hindu
No casualty was reported as the people had been evacuated
A landslide that occurred at Panthallur hills near Anakkayam in the district in the early hours of Friday wiped out a rubber plantation. However, no casualty was reported as the people living in the vicinity had been evacuated.
The landslide took place after 1 a.m. on Friday, following incessant rains in the region. Local people said that they had been living in fear of a landslip ever since granite quarrying had threatened the hills a few years ago.
The quarrying was stopped a few years ago after the people protested and launched an agitation under an action council.
Revenue officials said that they were assessing the damage caused by Friday’s landslide. Many trees, including dozens of rubber trees, were felled by the landslide that cut a wide muddy path across the sylvan hill.

The Shakespeare Millennium Club in collaboration with the Annai Velankanni Church (Society of St. Vincent De Paul), conducted a Free Medical Camp on November 23, 2025 at the church premises from 9 am to 6 pm, with Dr. Samundi Sankari and Dr. Divya Sivaraman of Srushti Hospitals, Dr. Sharada L N of Aramba, the Kumaran Dental Clinic, Lychee and Satya Physiotherapy Centre, according to a press release.
