ISRO has released high-resolution satellite images of the devastating landslide in Wayanad, Kerala, which has claimed over 250 lives. The images, captured by Cartosat-3 and RISAT satellites, reveal the extensive damage caused by the landslide, triggered by heavy rainfall. Approximately 86,000 square meters of land has slipped, with debris flowing nearly 8 kilometers along the Iruvaiphuzha River, widening its course. The satellite images provide a clear picture of the disaster's scale, aiding rescue operations and future disaster management planning. The images were taken by the National Remote Sensing Center (NRSC) in Hyderabad.
