Wayanad landslide victim finally buried in single grave
KALPETTA: After eight long months of emotional turmoil and repeated appeals, Anil Kumar of Chooralmala, Wayanad, finally received the closure he had been yearning for. His mother, Rajamma, who was killed in the devastating 2024 landslide, has now been laid to rest in a single grave, honouring her final wish and her son's relentless plea for dignity in death. The district administration, led by Wayanad District Collector Meghashree D R, issued a special order on Thursday permitting the exhumation and reburial of Rajamma's remains. The reburial was carried out on Friday under the supervision of the Meppadi village officer and the Tahasildar. Rajamma's body was recovered in two disjointed parts following the massive landslide that swept through the region. The parts were unearthed nearly 10 days apart and, due to the circumstances of recovery and identification, were buried in separate graves-N-34 and N-213-at the Puthumala mass grave site. For months, Anil Kumar, who lost more than 10 members of his extended family in the landslide visited the district collectorate tirelessly, petitioning officials to allow him to reunite his mother's mortal remains. 'She always feared dying in a landslide and used to tell me, 'If something happens to me, make sure I'm buried in one place.' That was her only request,' Anil said.

Tahasildar complains against MLA
Parvathipuram: The MLA of Parvathipuram is facing controversy due to his authoritarian behavior towards bureaucrats. B Vijaya Chandra, a first-time legislator, has been accused of treating government officials rudely. Y Jayalakshmi, the Tahasildar of Parvathipuram, has grown increasingly frustrated with the MLA's inappropriate conduct and has lodged a complaint with the police. She submitted her complaint via WhatsApp to the Circle Inspector of Parvathipuram, expressing that she has been subjected to mistreatment and insults from the MLA over the past few days. Jayalakshmi reported that he has used filthy and derogatory language during their phone conversations, making her working environment very painful. Speaking to 'The Hans India,' Jayalakshmi confirmed that she had indeed filed a complaint through WhatsApp. However, Circle Inspector Muralidhar stated that they had not received a physical complaint. Reports indicate that higher officials are attempting to downplay the issue and are pressuring the Tahasildar to withdraw her complaint. Despite this, her letter has sparked significant attention on social media. In response to the allegations, MLA Vijaya Chandra claimed that the Tahasildar accepted around Rs 2 lakh in bribes from local farmers for her official duties. He stated that the locals had approached him regarding this matter and mentioned that she did not respond to his calls when he attempted to discuss the farmers' concerns.
