RBKI a white elephant: Satheesan
Members of the United Democratic Front (UDF) Opposition walked out of the Assembly on Monday, stating that the government’s Rebuild Kerala Initiative (RBKI) had failed the victims of the catastrophic floods and landslips that ravaged the State since 2019. Congress legislator T. Siddique moved an adjournment notice to discuss the government’s abject failure to rehabilitate the survivors of the landslips in Wayanad (Puthumala-2019), Idukki (Pettimudy-2021), and Malappuram (Kavalapara-2019). Many deaths remained uncertified due to failure to find the bodies. The survivors of the missing had no scope of getting compensation. Most still lived in relief camps or rented houses. They had lost their small tracts of farmland to the avalanche of mud.
