Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan has said the government will carry out a detailed examination to know the reasons behind the Wayanad debris slip. He said it would also be examined whether the directives issued by the Central government while giving environment clearance to the tunnel project have been adhered to by the construction company. The work on the tunnel, which will connect Wayanad with Kozhikode, will restart only after these two examinations are completed, Mr. Satheesan said at a press conference in Thiruvananthapuram

He said the decision to carry out the examinations was taken in a Cabinet meeting chaired by him in the morning after reviewing the reports related to the incident. The CM said the Cabinet has also decided to take all legal and technical steps required to find out the reasons for the incident. – PTI
