Declare Kerala Landslides a National Disaster: Opposition Parties

Following the devastating landslides in Chooralmala and Mundakkai areas of Kerala, which have claimed over 358 lives with more than 250 people still missing, as of August 4, opposition parties are pressing the central government to recognise the catastrophe as a national disaster. The state government has already designated the area as a disaster zone, but calls for national recognition continue as they seek access to additional relief funds.
