  Kerala Finance Minister K N Balagopal on Sunday criticised the union government for demanding payment for disaster relief and rescue operations conducted by the Indian Air Force (IAF) during Wayanad landslides.

The article from Business Standard discusses the aftermath of a devastating landslide in Wayanad, Kerala, where the Union Government's response has been criticized by Kerala's Finance Minister, K N Balagopal. He accused the central government of adding "chilli to wounds" by not providing adequate support and instead imposing restrictions on Kerala's borrowing limits. The landslide, which occurred on December 15, 2024, resulted in significant loss of life and property, exacerbating the state's financial strain. Balagopal highlighted that while Kerala faces natural calamities, the central government's policies are making recovery efforts more challenging. He also mentioned that the state has been seeking financial aid and relaxation in borrowing limits to manage the crisis, but the Union Government has not been forthcoming, leading to tensions between the state and central authorities.
