Prime Minister Narendra Modi recalled his experience with the 1979 Morbi dam disaster in Gujarat, where he volunteered for six months. PM Modi said, "I have seen and experienced a disaster very closely. About 45-47 years ago there was a dam in Morbi, Gujarat. Heavy rains occurred and the dam was completely destroyed and water entered Morbi city. There was 10-12 feet of water in the entire city. More than 2,500 people died. I stayed there for about 6 months as a volunteer...I can well understand these circumstances and I assure you that the country and the Government of India will leave no stone unturned..."

On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi conducted an aerial and on-ground survey of the landslide-affected areas in Kerala's Wayanad district, visiting severely impacted villages like Chooraimala and Punchimattom.

Accompanied by state and central leaders, he reviewed the devastation and ongoing relief efforts. The Kerala government had earlier requested Rs. 2,000 crore in aid for rehabilitation. During the visit, PM Modi emphasised coordinated state-central efforts.
