Construction debris from the twin tunnel project in Kerala's Wayanad allegedly triggered Tuesday's landslide after warnings to remove accumulated soil were ignored. Environment Minister Sunny Joseph termed it a "manmade disaster", saying district collector had ordered on June 20 that work be stopped temporarily until post-tunnelling soil was cleared. At least five people were killed in landslide.
