WAYANAD: In a significant outreach to landslide-affected families in Wayanad, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday laid the foundation stone for 100 houses being constructed by the Congress for survivors of the Chooralmala–Mundakkai disaster.
Addressing beneficiaries, Priyanka recalled her first visit to the region soon after the tragedy struck on July 30, 2024.
"What I saw that day will never leave me, " she said, recounting how families had lost homes, livelihoods, schools and businesses overnight.
What struck her most, she added, was the unity and courage displayed by people across religious lines.
Though she was not the MP at the time, Priyanka said she now feels like a member of the community.
