In Maharashtra’s Raigad, a major landslip buried a village four days earlier, killing 27 people. On Sunday, the district administration suspended rescue efforts. According to authorities, 78 people remain missing.
Following a discussion involving villagers, state officials, and rescue workers, the decision was made. Officials reported that the final body found on Saturday appeared to be deteriorating.
The unnoticed dead animals and people, according to the district government, were rotting and emitting a horrible odour.
The fortified village of Irshalwadi was struck by a landslip on Wednesday. Rescue personnel had to hike for hours to get to the village because it was so far away. The area’s intense rains had a negative influence on the rescue teams’ attempts to locate the missing people.
As of Sunday, there had been 27 fatalities due to the landslip. However, 78 persons are still unaccounted for.
An official stated on Saturday that the revenue team has been evaluating the land lost in the tragedy and that a proposal to award land to impacted persons would be forwarded to the relevant authorities.
The official stated that a separate camp would be set up to provide various certifications and documents, such as Aadhaar cards, to the villagers who had lost them in the landslip.
The state government pledged to build dwellings for all the residents of Irshalwadi in an effort to help those who lost their homes in the landslip.
