According to government reports, over 100 individuals are feared to be trapped under the rubble as multiple rescue agencies and the Army scramble to rescue as many survivors as possible.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi thanked the people of Wayanad for their love and support in his letter. He wrote, “When I faced abuse day by day, your unconditional love supported me. You were my refuge, my home, and my family. I never felt for even a moment that you have doubted me.”

The roadshow, with nearly ten thousand Congress supporters and local leaders from Kozhikode and Malappuram, culminated at the collectorate, amidst a fervent wave of supporters chanting slogans. 

However, political analysts believe BJP's K Surendran could shake things up by potentially drawing traditional Congress votes, bolstering CPI's chances. "The BJP's seriousness in every constituency signals a tough fight for Rahul Gandhi," remarked Avinash Mohan, an environmentalist from Kalpetta.
