Sat Feb 22 04:17:40 UTC 2025: ## Kerala High Court Urges Speedy Completion of Wayanad Landslide Rehabilitation Projects

**Kochi, February 22, 2025** – The Kerala High Court’s Division Bench issued a strong directive on Friday, emphasizing the urgent need for the Kerala State government to finalize completion dates for rehabilitation projects in Wayanad, following devastating landslides.

The court’s statement came in response to a government submission detailing the receipt of an interest-free loan from the central government, earmarked for these projects. The central government’s letter stipulated a March 31st deadline for project completion, a deadline the state government argued was unrealistic at this stage.

While the state government plans to commence debris removal from affected water bodies in early March, ahead of the monsoon season, the court requested a comprehensive timeline for all debris removal operations. The court stressed the importance of timely project completion to aid the affected communities.
