Wayanad’s devastating landslides are one of the worst natural disasters of recent times. Amid the devastation, several prominent celebrities, film stars, and sports stars have contributed to rehabilitation and rescue work. Malayalam legendary star Mohanlal has stood out amongst these celebrities for his active work towards the Wayanad landslide.
Mohanlal, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Territorial Army, recently visited the landslide-hit Wayanad on Saturday. The death toll in Kerala’s Wayanad landslides reached 358.
Dressed in his army uniform, the megastar discussed with officers before heading to the affected areas. Honoured with the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Territorial Army in 2009, the actor demonstrated his commitment to service by offering support and solidarity during this crisis.
The actor through Viswasanthi Foundation also pledged Rs 3 crore for the rehabilitation works of the disaster-hit region. He also took to social media to express his gratitude to the teams working towards rescuing the trapped victims.
“I salute the courage of the selfless volunteers, policemen, Fire & Rescue, NDRF, army soldiers, government officials, and everyone working tirelessly to provide relief to the victims of the Wayanad disaster. I am grateful for the efforts of my 122 Infantry Battalion, TA Madras, who have been at the forefront of the relief mission. We have faced challenges before and emerged stronger. I pray that we stand united and show the strength of our unity in this difficult time. Jai Hind!”
