Wayanad operations hit by rain, could take few more days: Kerala CM
Over 1,600 rescue workers, including from Army, Navy, NDRF and police, are engaged in the operation. Volunteers said they required heavy machinery to remove large uprooted trees as the available excavators had proved inadequate for the task. With Army building a Bailey bridge between Chooralmala and Mundakkai, required equipment could now reach the worst-affected zone, Vijayan said.
