Kerala CM Sets January 2026 Target to Hand Over Homes to Wayanad Landslide Survivors

The district has published a 402-person beneficiary list for phased resettlement following last year’s deadly slides.

Overview

  • Work is progressing on 64.475 hectares acquired at Elston Estate for the government-run rehabilitation township.
  • Of the identified beneficiaries, 104 people chose to live outside the township and have each received Rs 15 lakh.
  • A total of 295 beneficiaries have submitted consent letters to relocate to new homes in the township.
  • Following appeals and scrutiny, 49 additional people were added to the official rehabilitation list.
  • A district coordination committee chaired by the Collector will oversee implementation, and the CM said no central grant was received for Wayanad rehabilitation, citing an interest-free Rs 526 crore loan from the Centre.
