Kasaragod, Aug 17: In a humanitarian gesture to help the people affected by the floods in different parts of the State, a palliative care nurse at Muliyar in Kasaragod has donated 10 cents of her land to the Chief Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund (CMDRF).
When she heard about the disaster that hit different parts of the State, Ms. Priyakumari, a resident of Kuttikkol here, decided to give whatever she could to help the affected people rebuild their lives.
“Instead of being sympathetic to the suffering ones, we should do something to help them come out of that,” she said after handing over the land documents to N.A. Nellikkunnu, MLA, at the collectorate on Friday. She also said that when she took the decision, her husband, Ravindran, who is a KSEB employee, as also other family members, supported it.
Ms. Priyakumari said that she had planned to hand over the land for the relief work last year itself, but she could not as she was unaware of the procedures. She said she had 92 cents of land in Kuttikkol.
Ms. Priyakumari has a daughter who is doing her graduation and a son who is a Class IX student. District Collector D. Sajith Babu and ADM N. Devidasan, were also present when she handed over the documents.
