The Malayalee community in Navi Mumbai has been deeply affected by the recent Wayanad catastrophe, leading them to provide their assistance to the affected individuals. Over 400 individuals lost their lives in the devastation, which included landslides, heavy rain, and flash floods. The disaster destroyed homes in the area and buried hundreds more beneath rubble.

City-based Keraleeya groups have stepped forward to give assistance in the wake of the tragedy. The Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF) in Kerala has received a contribution of one lakh rupees from the New Bombay Keraleeya Samaj, Nerul. In the presence of Kerala House Manager Shri Deepu S.S., Vice President KT Nair, Secretary Prakash Kattakkada, Treasurer Jothishmayan, and committee members Renjith TV, MPR Panicker, and Sony Jose visited Kerala House on August 7th to give the check to Norka Development Officer Shri Shemim Khan.

Nerul Nair Seva Samaj intends to offer financial help as well, while Panvel Malayalee Samajam is actively raising money through the CMDRF to aid the impacted Wayanad community.

The president of Mumbai’s Keraleeya Kendra Sanghathana, which is a confederation of 65 Keraleeya Samajams and other organizations, T.N. Hariharan, disclosed that the group is organizing relief operations and emphasizing financial assistance for individuals impacted. The restoration effort of the Kerala government, which aims to restore houses for the displaced, has the backing of the Sanghatna.

Wayanad native Mr. Mathew Thomas, a resident of Nerul, gave a description of the beautiful area and the disaster that occurred on July 30. Though severe rains are typical in southern Wayanad, the destruction on that unfortunate day was unheard of. Large areas were covered in rubble by landslides in places like Mundakkai, Chooralmala, Attamala, and Noolpuzha, which caused hundreds of fatalities and countless injuries, the speaker said.

The devastation was brought on by flash floods and torrential rains, which collapsed slopes and sent stones, dirt, and water in torrents over the region. It is still regarded as one of Kerala’s deadliest natural catastrophes ever. Mr. Mathew underscored that this was not a man-made tragedy but rather a natural event.
