Mohanlal, who is also a Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Territorial Army, on Saturday reached landslide-hit Wayanad, and saluted the efforts of the rescue teams. The superstar also pledged Rs 3 crore for the rehabilitation works of the disaster-hit region. He visited Chooralmala, Mundakkai and Punchirimattom, among other places, and interacted with the various rescue workers, including the army and the locals, to get an understanding of the gravity of the incident.
Mohanlal shared his photos from the visit on his social media handles on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) in the evening. Along with the pictures, he wrote, "The devastation in Wayanad is a deep wound that will take time to heal. Every home lost and life disrupted is a personal tragedy."
The Drishyam actor stated that he will be donating Rs 3 crore for the rehabilitation work as he added, "ViswaSanthi Foundation is pledging 3 crore for immediate relief and rebuilding efforts with the support of Dorf-Ketal Chemicals India Pvt. Ltd. One of our commitments is the reconstruction of the LP school at Mundakkai." ViswaSanthi Foundation is the non-profit organisation established by Mohanlal in 2015 in the honour of his mother Santhakumari Amma and late father Viswanathan Nair.
Saluting the efforts of the rescue teams, the actor concluded, "Witnessing the courageous efforts of the soldiers from my 122TA Madras battalion and the rescue teams was profoundly moving. Their selfless dedication and the resilience of the community inspire hope. Together, we will rebuild, heal, and emerge stronger."
In the Wayanad landslide disaster, the death toll has reached above 350 while 206 people are missing as the rescue operations entered the fifth day on Saturday, August 3. Multiple landslides had occurred in the Wayanad district of Kerala in the early hours of Tuesday, July 30.
