[edit]- 2024 Wayanad landslides
Wayanad landslides were the landslides that occurred at Mundakkai, nearby Chooralmala, Attamala, Meppadi and Kunhome villages of Wayanad district, Kerala, India, in the early hours of 30 July 2024. Heavy rains triggered the collapse of hillsides, resulting in torrents of mud, water, and boulders cascading down onto the area. The landslides marked one of the deadliest natural disasters in Kerala's history with reports of at least 400+ deaths.[4][6]
