Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Wayanad district in Kerala on Saturday, August 10, 2024, following the recent devastating landslides in the region. The visit is part of a broader effort to assess the impact of the disaster and support ongoing relief and rescue operations.
According to officials, Prime Minister Modi’s itinerary includes visits to a relief camp, a hospital, and the Bailey bridge constructed by the Army in the affected area.
