The Kerala government is hopeful that the Centre will provide special assistance to the state following the Wayanad landslide disaster. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan stated that despite other states receiving immediate relief after disasters, Kerala has not received any support yet. The government has submitted a memorandum outlining the state’s requirements and the funds needed for rehabilitation. The recent allocation of ₹145.6 crore from the Centre was mandatory and not specific to the disaster. The government is continuing to push for additional aid and has released ₹2,135.5 crore from the Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund so far.
