Rahul Gandhi Leads Kerala Disaster Relief, Priyanka Joins for Housing Ceremony

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra would also be participating in the event later today.

In an X post from Congress's official X account, it said, "LoP Shri @RahulGandhi, along with Congress General Secretary & Wayanad MP Smt. @priyankagandhi ji, will lay the foundation stone for houses to be constructed for Mundakkai-Chooralmala disaster survivors by the Indian National Congress at Kunnambatta, Kalpetta."

The LoP will also attend the Karshaka Sangamam (Farmers' Convention) at Peravoor before the stone laying ceremony.

On July 30, 2024, Kerala was hit with a landslide, the deadliest one in the state, killing more than 300 people and destroying scores of houses and other buildings.

In August last year, the Kerala Bank Board on Monday decided to waive off the entire loans of those who lost their lives, as well as for those whose mortgaged homes and properties were destroyed in the disaster.

At 1:30 PM, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will also hand over advanced equipment for the Forest Department's Rapid Response Team (RRT) at the Kalpetta MP Office. The equipment has been arranged through JSW's CSR fund at her initiative. Earlier, she had also facilitated a modern vehicle for the department.

On February 27, she will inaugurate the laboratory of the Kalikavu Service Co-operative Bank in the morning. In the afternoon, she will inaugurate the Silver Jubilee celebrations of MES School, Kaithapoyil (Thiruvambady) and lay the foundation stone for a new block. She will also visit the proposed Churam Bypass Road site at Chippilithodu.
