Mundakkai: Megastar Mohanlal, serving as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Territorial Army, visited the landslide-hit Wayanad district in Kerala on Saturday. Dressed in his army uniform, Mohanlal engaged in discussions with officers before heading to the affected areas, demonstrating his commitment to service and solidarity during this crisis. The actor, honored with the lieutenant colonel rank in 2009, has shown unwavering support in this time of need.
A devastating landslide, triggered by heavy rains, struck Wayanad, claiming 300 lives and burying homes.

Earlier, Mohanlal expressed his gratitude on Facebook to the officials working diligently for the betterment of citizens. He posted pictures of the rescue operations, captioned, “I salute the courage of the selfless volunteers, policemen, Fire & Rescue, NDRF, army soldiers, government officials, and every person working tirelessly to provide relief to the victims of the Wayanad disaster. I am grateful for the efforts of my 122 Infantry Battalion, TA Madras, who have been at the forefront of the relief mission. We have faced challenges before and emerged stronger. I pray that we stand united and show the strength of our unity in this difficult time. Jai Hind!”
The actor also urged the public to avoid spreading false information regarding the incident. He emphasized the importance of staying safe and responsible: “In light of the ongoing heavy rainfall and the natural disaster, please make every effort to stay safe. Fully abide by the government orders and avoid travel as much as possible. Please avoid sharing any false news and information regarding the incident.
