Tamil Nadu Teen Raises ₹15,000 for Wayanad Landslide Relief with 3-Hour Bharatanatyam Performance

In a thoughtful move, 13-year-old Harini Sri from Tamil Nadu performed Bharatanatyam for three straight hours to raise funds for those affected by the Wayanad landslides in Kerala. The young girl donated ₹15,000, including her savings, to the Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF) on Thursday.

The Information Public Relations Department (IPRD) of the Kerala government posted on its official X handle, “A 13-year-old girl from Tamil Nadu, Harini Sri, performed Bharatanatyam for 3 hours straight to raise funds for the Wayanad landslide to #standwithwayanad. She donated ₹15,000, including her savings, to CMDRF.”

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan met with Harini and offered his blessings.

The Chooralmala and Mundakkai regions in Kerala’s Wayanad district were hit by massive landslides on July 30, which claimed over 300 lives and caused widespread property damage.

Meanwhile, a special team consisting of army personnel, SOG officials, and forest officials has been conducting a search operation at Sunrise Valley in Soojippara, within the forest, since Thursday.

The Wayanad district administration organized a farewell for the Indian Army personnel who were part of the rescue and search operation in the landslide-affected areas. After completing a ten-day-long rescue mission, the Indian Army is set to hand over the operation to the forces of the NDRF, SDRF, Fire Force, and Kerala police.

An Indian Army battalion comprising around 500 members from Thiruvananthapuram, Kozhikode, Kannur, and Bengaluru is set to return, while the maintenance team for the Bailey Bridge, temporarily constructed by the Indian Army, will remain in the area.

IAF helicopters are aiding the search operations. So far, more than 700 kg of relief material, 8 civilians, and Special Operations Group teams have been airlifted by helicopters since the disaster struck Wayanad on July 30.
