We warned the Kerala government about the accident a week ago-Amit Shah

Amaravati: States that are not part of the NDA alliance, it has become commonplace to accuse the central government of any accident in their states. At times, the central government does not pay much attention to the allegations, but when there is a loss of life, it blames the mistakes of the respective state governments. In this background…

Union Home Minister Amit Shah responded to the landslide accident in Wayanad, Kerala on Wednesday. He clarified that Kerala has been warned in advance about the possibility of landslides. It is alleged that they were alerted about this threat on July 23, but the state government did not evacuate the citizens on time. It was explained that nine NDRF teams were sent to that state when heavy rains fell. Many questions are coming on weather early warning system… I want to clarify all this… After 2014, the government spent about Rs.2 thousand crores on the warning system… This system will be modernized in 2016, 2023… India is one of the countries in the world with modern warning system. India is one of the 4 countries that detect danger a week before… The central government issued an early warning to the state government of Kerala on July 23… This was given about 7 days before the accident… After that we gave it again on 24th and 25th of July… We have warned that heavy rain of 20 cm will fall on July 26, resulting in possible landslides… We were told that there will be a heavy mud flow and there is a possibility of loss of life… That is why around 9 NDRF teams were moved to Kerala on 23rd July… But what steps did the Kerala government take? Have people moved to safer areas? How many people died if moved? The Home Minister showered a barrage of questions.
