Priyanka Gandhi's engagement with Wayanad landslides

In late July 2026, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made an on‑site visit to the Meppadi landslide area in Wayanad, Kerala, where a tunnel project collapse on 7 July had killed eight people and injured several others. She inspected the damaged site, met families of the deceased and injured workers at WIMS Hospital, and pledged that the government would provide "every necessary help" to those affected, commending the non‑sectarian rescue efforts.

A few days later, Gandhi marked the two‑year anniversary of the massive July 30, 2024 landslide that devastated the hill hamlets of Chooralmala and Mundakkai, killing 330. Through a social‑media tribute, she praised the community’s resilience, highlighted the ongoing rehabilitation township where survivors are rebuilding, and reaffirmed her commitment to continued support for displaced families.

Together, these actions illustrate Gandhi’s sustained political involvement in addressing both the immediate fallout of a recent landslide and the longer‑term recovery from the deadliest landslide in Wayanad’s recent history.
