An India Today report from Wayanad explores the district’s key challenges ahead of elections. The report visits Churulmala, site of the devastating 30 July 2024 landslide, where the first set of rehabilitation houses are being handed over to survivors nearly two years later. Victims express relief at receiving homes but acknowledge their grief remains. The district faces multiple unresolved issues: 18% of the population belongs to tribal communities like the Paniyas, Kuruchiyas, and Adiyas, who report political neglect and lack of basic amenities. Members of the Adiya community say politicians only visit during elections and fail to address their concerns. The report also highlights the severe man-animal conflict affecting farmers and coffee planters, with wild elephant attacks destroying crops despite expensive electric fencing. Pending compensation for deaths, injuries, and crop damage runs into crores. Political leaders criticise both state and central governments for inadequate funding, with no package announced despite Prime Minister’s visit. The district, a traditional Congress stronghold, awaits solutions as elections approach.
