Wayanad landslides: Kerala HC tells govt to set up system to disburse compensation via bank accounts

The Kerala High Court expressed concern that victims of the Wayanad landslides have not yet received compensation and directed the government to establish a system to distribute financial aid. This direction was given during a case initiated by the High Court itself after the landslides in Wayanad on July 30. The Central government mentioned that a committee was considering declaring the tragedy a national disaster, while the State government stated that the scheme providing ₹300 per day to disaster victims would be extended for another 30 days. The court will further address the matter on November 15.
