In a tragic tale of heroism, two young men from Churalmala, Wayanad, lost their lives while saving others during a devastating mudslide in Mepadi. Sarath Babu and his friend Prajeesh emerged as local heroes in the face of disaster.
Sarath Babu, son of Murugan and Subbalakshmi, ensured his family’s safety before plunging into rescue operations. He managed to save 15 people from the mudslide before mysteriously disappearing. His last words to his family were, “Come now, you must sit here.”
Prajeesh, a respected social worker in Churalmala, was known for always being ready to help those in need. He made two successful rescue trips up the hill, saving several lives, including his family. Despite friends’ attempts to stop him, Prajeesh insisted on a third rescue mission.
On their final attempt, Sarath and Prajeesh drove a jeep up the hill but couldn’t reach Churalmala Bridge. The surging soil and water swept away the vehicle and both men. Prajeesh’s body was later recovered and cremated. Sarath’s mortal remains are missing.
The once-beautiful villages of Wayanad Mundakkai and Churalmala lie buried under mud and debris. As the community mourns, Sarath Babu and Prajeesh’s selfless actions serve as a poignant reminder of human courage in the face of natural disasters.
Friends of the duo are left in disbelief, their eyes filling with tears as they recount the bravery of these local heroes. As the community grapples with the loss, Sarath Babu and Prajeesh’s selfless actions stand as a testament to the human spirit in times of crisis.
Media Overlooks Their RSS/Seva Bharati Ties
News media nationwide have been reporting about Prajeesh and Sarath’s heroic tale. However, they conveniently skip mentioning that both were RSS swayamsevaks/Seva Bharati volunteers and also said to be BJP karyakarthas.
Sarath & Prajeesh 2 brave BJP Karyakartas sacrificed their lives while rescuing neighbours during landslides in Attamala, #Wayanad. Both of them saved many people, but couldn't save themselves when the second landslide occurred.
Pranams to their dedication. 🙏 #WayanadLandslide pic.twitter.com/cU2Q8Fk5dc— Dr.SG Suryah (@SuryahSG) August 1, 2024
The so-called “Hindutvawadis” that Sarath and Prajeesh allegedly were (according to the leftists and Islamists in our country) had staked their lives to save their friends and neighbours from radical Islamists in Wayanad. They did not selectively rescue people in the eye of danger.
Alleged fact-checkers like YouTurn and AltNews attempted several times to discredit Seva Bharati and RSS for their yeoman service in Wayanad.
