CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury on Tuesday expressed grief over the loss of lives in landslides in Kerala's Wayanad district and urged the Centre to provide all assistance to the state.

"Deeply grieved and agonised at the death of (a) large number of people... in the unprecedented monstrous landslides in Wayanadu, Kerala," Yechury said in a post on X.

"Kerala people have always risen in unison to meet the challenges of national disasters. The Union Government must render all possible assistance to the State Government's efforts to ensure no more lives are lost," he said.
