An unprecedented tragedy happened in Wayanad recently. Malayalees forgot everything and contributed for Wayanad. Some even put aside Onam celebrations and gathered for Wayanad. There was a recent report that even the flower trade to Kerala has decreased due to this. But now the details of the amount spent in Wayanad have come out.
The case related to this was filed by James North. The affidavit in this case has now specified the government expenses. According to the figures, two crore 76 lakh 75000 rupees were spent for cremation of 351 dead bodies. People were cremated by mass digging, and now the audience is asking if this is such an amount. That is Rs 75000 per dead body. Similarly, Bailey Bridge was a bridge built by the Army. It is said that the Kerala government has spent one crore only for its related activities.
It is said that Rs 4 crore was spent on transport to take volunteers and troops to the disaster area. Ten crore rupees were spent on food and water supply. 15 crores for accommodation only. It is said that only for the polishing works of the bridge, which was completely built by the Indian Army, a crore of rupees was spent. It is said that two crore 98 lakh rupees were spent on torch, raincoat and umbrella. It is said that 2 crore 2 lakh rupees were spent on the medical assistance of volunteers and troops. There were about 4000 people in 17 relief camps. It is said that they spent eight crore rupees for food. 11 crores were spent on the clothes.
It is said that the cost of getting the generator is Rs 7 crore. 8 crores for medical aid. At the same time, a section of people say that this is an account to be submitted before the central government and therefore it must be that the government has covered all the small and big expenses. A section accuses the government of such calculations to get more benefits from the central government. However, a section also asks why when giving a document to the court, such figures are given in such a way that one feels disbelief.
