No Red Alert Issued By Centre For Landslides: Kerala Minister To NDTV

No Red Alert Issued By Centre For Landslides: Kerala Minister To NDTV

Thursday, August 01, 2024 04:43:01 AM UTC

Speaking to NDTV, Veena George described Amit Shah's statement as "unfortunate and misleading". She insisted that thorough checks of all messages from the central government came up with no red alert.

In a rebuttal to Home Minister Amit Shah's statements in Parliament, Kerala Health Minister Veena George told NDTV that no red alert for landslides was issued by the Centre. This clarification comes in the wake of Mr Shah's remarks suggesting that the Kerala government had been forewarned about potential landslides, which resulted in over 150 deaths and 200 injuries in Wayanad district.

Speaking to NDTV, Ms George described Mr Shah's statement as "unfortunate and misleading". She insisted that thorough checks of all messages from the central government came up with no red alert. "We have verified all communications from the Centre, and there was no red alert issued regarding landslides. The district administration acted based on an orange alert, which is a level lower in severity," Ms George stated.

The minister added that the Wayanad district administration had taken preventive measures based on the orange alert, including the evacuation of many residents to safer locations.
