Considering the pressing need for assistance in landslide-hit Wayanad, a division bench comprising Justices A K Jayasankaran Nambiar and Easwaran S suggested that freeing up Rs 120 crore would allow the funds to be redirected for the rehabilitation of landslide victims in Wayanad.
The court urged the Centre to consider temporarily releasing the Rs 120 crore and relaxing the NDRF/SDRF guidelines to enable the funds to be used for rehabilitating the landslide victims.
The state government had informed the court that of a total of Rs 782.99 crore available in State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF), around Rs 120 crore are to be paid to the Centre towards arrears of air-lifting services provided in 2006, 2016, 2017, and Rs 60 crore towards other pending bills. In addition, the state said there are other commitments, leaving only Rs 61.03 crore available for use.
