The government's delay in announcing compensation for damaged shops has left owners in a precarious situation. Meanwhile, families who suffered total losses in the landslide and took shelter in relief camps are receiving a one-time emergency aid of Rs 10,000. Furthermore, two members of each affected family who lost their means of livelihood are being provided a daily allowance of Rs 300.

Despite the government's relief efforts, some families who relocated to their relatives' homes due to medical or elderly care concerns are being left out of the aid distribution. Additionally, there is a growing demand for prompt compensation for shops destroyed in the landslide. Numerous families who lost their means of livelihood, including those in the Nilikkaparamba region, are also facing difficulties in accessing assistance.
