A massive landslide in Kerala’s Wayanad district kills two people following heavy rain, according to reports. The slide occurs near Meenakshi Bridge at Kalladi. The location is close to the site of an ongoing road project, the Anakkompoyil–Meppadi tunnel road, which connects Malappuram and Wayanad districts. The reports describe the incident as a significant land movement in the area after rainfall, though they do not provide additional details on damage extent, number of people affected beyond the two deaths, or the status of rescue and recovery operations. Information on potential links between the landslide and nearby construction is also not elaborated in the available accounts. Authorities are expected to assess the site and related infrastructure concerns after the incident, particularly given the proximity to the road project. The reports focus on the immediate impact—two fatalities—and the landslide’s geographic reference point near Meenakshi Bridge at Kalladi.
