Moozhiyar police in Keralam turn Onam invite into a helping hand for tribal families
During a visit to a tribal settlement to invite its residents to the Onam feast at the police station, police team discovers that four families were struggling even to find their next meal and arranges food supplies for them
A team of Moozhiyar police officers ventured into a tribal settlement near the Kochandi check post with the intention of extending an invitation to their residents for the Onam feast taking place at the police station on August 24, 2026. However, their visit took on a more compassionate tone when they discovered that four families were facing severe food insecurity.
The officers, comprising A.R. Ravindran, Anilkumar, Chinchu Bose, and Vineeth, inquired about the families' recent meals and were dismayed to learn that the children had gone without food for days, and that the families often lacked sustenance. The officers promptly made their way back to the police station and, with the assistance of their colleagues, returned with provisions including groceries, vegetables, fish, and bakery items for the children.
The families were overjoyed at the gesture and gladly accepted the invitation to partake in the police station's Onam feast. During their further interactions, the children expressed to the officers the challenges they faced in attending school due to the lack of transportation. The station house officer assured the children that arrangements would be made to facilitate their school commute once classes resumed after the Onam holidays.
The tribal community warmly bid farewell to the police team, expressing their gratitude and eagerly anticipating their return for the Onam feast.
