Idukki: Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan on Monday hit out at the state government for the poor infrastructure in Kerala and claimed that people were not receiving power supply amid landslide in Idukki.
Taking to Twitter, he said, ” The State of Kerala, which boasts of being number one, in healthcare failed the poor, innocent & hardworking people of Idukki. Both LDF & UDF deprived them of basic healthcare.”
The Minister said that there was no proper hospital near Rajamala or its nearby areas, where most of the plantation workers live. ” What good is the No1 rank if it cannot save the lives of innocent people?,” he asked.

Muraleedharan also targeted MM Mani, the Electricity Minister saying that Idukki does not have an uninterrupted supply of electricity.
“Idukki, the home district of Kerala’s Electricity Minister, MM Mani does not have uninterrupted supply of electricity. The landslide areas did not have power for more than four days,” he tweeted.
“Munnar, a renowned tourist destination in India & abroad, does not have proper road connectivity to its villages. It’s shameful that a road bridge that collapsed during 2018 floods is yet to be connected. Road situation is so bad, that no emergency service can reach on time,” Muraleedharan added.

The search for the victims of the Munnar Pettimudi tragedy continues for the fourth day. 27 people are yet to be found. The death toll has rose to 43 due to the massive landslide after incessant rainfall.
