Key of house given to Abhimanyu’s kin

Chief Minister inaugurates Abhimanyu memorial library

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan handed over the key of the house, constructed for the family of Abhimanyu, to the slain student’s parents at Vattavada on Monday.

It was a moving moment for Abhimanyu’s parents as it was their dream to have a house of their own. The family was living in a single room house and the new house was constructed nearly half a kilometre away from their original house.

10-cent plot

Mr. Vijayan gave the key to Abhimanyu’s parents at a public function. The house was constructed in a 10-cent plot purchased using the fund raised through public donations.

Mr. Vijayan also inaugurated the Abhimanyu memorial library which was set up with public participation and has a collection of nearly one lakh books.

Vattavada is a village close to Munnar and is one of the backward grama panchayats with a low literacy rate.
