Wayanad, Kerala: The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) district HQ (Kerala & Mahe) and ICG Station Beypore are at the forefront of ongoing disaster relief efforts in Wayanad. Since July 30, 2024, a team of 35 ICG personnel, led by Deputy Commandant Vivek Kumar Dixit, has been tirelessly conducting rescue missions in Chooralmala and surrounding villages.
The ICG team has been instrumental in assisting numerous civilians stranded in disaster zones, ensuring their safe relocation to relief camps. They are actively engaged in clearing debris in search of survivors and missing persons, while also providing immediate first aid to the injured. This comprehensive operation is a coordinated effort involving the State administration, Indian Army, Indian Navy, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), fire & rescue services, local police, and various volunteer groups.
In addition to ground efforts, an Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) from Coast Guard Air Enclave, Calicut, is on standby to offer enhanced air support for rescue operations and air-dropping relief materials. Furthermore, ICG Ship Abhinav is en route from Kochi to Beypore, carrying life-saving equipment, relief materials, medicines, and freshwater to support various disaster relief camps in Wayanad.
