Man fatally hit by lorry while trying to rescue cat
The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram
|April 10, 2025
A 41-YEAR-OLD man died after being hit by a lorry while trying to rescue a cat stranded on the road at Kalathode near Mannuthy late on Tuesday night.
The deceased, Sijo Chittilapilly, of Kalathode, was struck around 10.30 pm at Kalathode Junction on the Thrissur-Mannuthy road. CCTV footage from a nearby shop shows that Sijo arrived on his motorcycle, parked it by the roadside, and rushed toward the middle of the road to help the cat. Though he signaled an approaching lorry to stop, the vehicle couldn't halt in time, and the collision occurred within seconds.

Living boundaries for your outdoor garden
WALLS can mark a boundary, but hedges bring a boundary to life. Think about it — a neat line of plants running along the edge of a bungalow garden doesn't just separate \"inside\" from \"outside,\" it frames the entire home like a picture. Hedges are one of the oldest and most reliable tools in landscaping: they provide privacy, reduce noise and dust, and simultaneously soften the hard lines of walls and gates.
