TRUDGING THROUGH MUD. This handout photograph taken on Tuesday and released by India’s National Disaster Response Force shows NDRF personnel at the disaster site as they rescue victims of the landslide in Wayanad. The southern coastal state of Kerala has been battered by torrential downpours, and the collapse of a key bridge at the disaster site in Wayanad district has hampered rescue efforts, according to local media reports.
Army teams were working around the clock to build a temporary bridge over raging waters to help search efforts after earlier relying on jury-rigged ziplines to transport bodies that had been recovered. Brick-walled row homes built to accommodate seasonal workers were inundated by a powerful wall of brown sludge as labourers and their families slept.
Monsoon rains across the region from June to September offer respite from the summer heat and are crucial to replenishing water supplies.
