Wayanad. Inspired by the rescue operation carried out by the Indian Army after the devastating landslide in Wayanad, a class 3 student in Kerala has written an emotional letter to them. In the letter written by ‘Master Ryan’, he has expressed his aspiration to join the armed forces one day.
After several days of torrential rains in Kerala, a terrible disaster struck Wayanad before dawn on Tuesday, resulting in the tragic death of over 300 people and injuries to many others. Ryan, a student of a private school, in his letter expressed his pride at seeing the dedication of the army in rescuing people trapped under the rubble.
‘Wish to join Indian Army’
Ryan wrote in Malayalam, “Dear Indian Army, a massive landslide occurred in my beloved Wayanad, causing devastation and destruction. I felt proud and happy to see you rescuing people trapped in the debris. The student further wrote, “I just saw the video in which you were eating biscuits to satisfy your hunger and building a bridge. That scene deeply affected me and I wish to join the Indian Army one day and protect my country.”
