Ex-collector solemnises youngest tsunami survivor's wedding
The New Indian Express Vellore
|February 03, 2025
MEENA, the youngest survivor of the 2004 tsunami from Annai Sathya Government Children's Home, Nagapattinam, married on Sunday. Erstwhile Nagapattinam Collector and present Additional Chief Secretary Dr J Radhakrishnan IAS officiated the wedding.
On December 26, 2004, around 6,065 people died in the Indian Ocean Tsunami that struck Nagapattinam. A few days later, fisherfolk heard the cries of a child amid the wreckage left by the tides near Keechankuppam fishing hamlet. They rescued the child and handed her over to authorities.
Realising that hundreds of children have lost one or both parents in the natural calamity, the state established Annai Sathya Government Children's Home in Nagapattinam. The infant rescued near Keechankuppam was admitted at the home and was named 'Meena'.
