Chooramala, a small town near Meppadi of Wayanad is an idyllic and picturesque location with tea plantations on one side and a river on the other side, but it turned into a valley of death and destruction after landslides hit it hard on July 30.

Rahul and Priyanka will also visit three relief camps in Meppadi and meet the affected families. They are expected to extend a “healing touch” to the victims and also express solidarity with them, in such times of difficulty and despair. They will visit three relief camps operating at Govt Higher Secondary School, St Joseph UP School, and Dr Moopen’s Medical College in Wayanad’s Meppadi.
