**Wayanad, India** — The Central Government’s proposed loan for the rehabilitation of Wayanad has come under fire from local authorities. The conditions attached to the loan have been described as “alarming” and a “cruel joke” by the state’s Minister of Finance.
In a press conference held on Tuesday, the Minister expressed deep concern over the stringent terms set by the Central Government, which include high-interest rates and short repayment periods. “These conditions are not only unrealistic but also place an undue burden on the already struggling region,” the Minister stated.
Wayanad, known for its lush landscapes and agricultural economy, has been grappling with economic challenges exacerbated by recent natural disasters. The loan was intended to aid in the region’s recovery efforts, but local leaders argue that the terms could hinder rather than help.
The Minister called for a reassessment of the loan conditions, urging the Central Government to consider more feasible terms that align with the region’s economic realities.
The Central Government has yet to respond to these criticisms, leaving the future of Wayanad’s rehabilitation uncertain.
