Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah sent an official letter to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, reminding him of the Karnataka government's offer to construct 100 houses for the residents of Mundakkai and Chooralmala as part of rehabilitation.

"Kindly recall that during my visit to Wayanad following the unfortunate landslide incident, I had announced my government's commitment to donate 100 houses to support the affected families. This initiative was aimed at providing a secure and stable environment for those who have lost their homes, livelihoods, and dear ones. The announcement was duly communicated to the Chief Secretary of Kerala for further coordination," the letter read.

"It is concerning that no communication has been received from the Government of Kerala regarding the necessary guidelines or directions to implement this project, preventing us from moving forward with the commitment. To facilitate this initiative, I also wish to convey that my government is ready to purchase the land required for constructing the houses, ensuring swift progress in providing relief to the affected families," the letter added.

In August 2024, Siddaramaiah took to X to offer houses for the landslide survivors. "In light of the tragic landslide in Wayanad, Karnataka stands in solidarity with Kerala. I have assured CM Shri @pinarayivijayan of our support and announced that Karnataka will construct 100 houses for the victims. Together, we will rebuild and restore hope," he said. However, the Pinarayi government has not responded so far, the Karnataka CM said.
