Earlier today, Kerala tourism minister P A Muhammad Riyas said that the government is considering the feedback of flood-affected individuals in Wayanad while developing townships and other rehabilitation measures. The rehabilitation process will be executed in four stages, catering to different needs: those who prefer to stay with relatives, those who opt for self-arranged rented accommodations, those who require sponsored rentals, and those who will be allocated government-funded rentals. To ensure a comprehensive understanding, an 18-member team is conducting an in-depth survey.
