How the Wayanad twin-tunnel passed clearance despite the risks | Wayanad Landslide

Tragedy has struck one of Kerala’s largest infrastructure projects. A fatal landslip at the Wayanad twin-tunnel project site has left at least 5 dead and several trapped—just three weeks after a geotechnical report warned of large-scale slope failure.

Why were the explicit warning signs completely ignored? How did a mega-tunnel project located in a highly fragile, landslide-prone zone secure environmental clearance?

In this video, we break down the reasons behind the Wayanad twin-tunnel project approval, the ecological risks that were brushed aside, and the critical lapses that may have triggered Tuesday's fatal tragedy.
