"IUML social relief systems were active at Wayanad. Ambulances and freezers have been provided to support the search efforts. We have formed a special committee to coordinate the relief works. We are collecting the funds to introduce projects to meet the necessities like house construction, treatment and children's education," IUML National General Secretary PK Kunhalikutty said.
The party will collect funds till August 15. The app will be available on the Playstore and Appstore and can be accessed by searching 'FOR WAYANAD,' party officials said.
