Wayanad Landslide: Did Kerala govt not respond to IMD's orange alert? Met Dept says 'don't wait for us'

Kerala Wayanad Landslide: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has urged states to take action when an Orange alert is issued, rather than waiting for a red alert. The disaster in Kerala has claimed over 200 lives and trapped hundreds. The Indian Army has successfully evacuated people from affected areas, and members of the Army's Madras Sappers built a makeshift 100-foot bridge to support rescue efforts.
