After more than a week of uncertainty, the aged parents of Dhonu Porja (31), a migrant worker from the remote village of Changki in Nagaland, will eventually get to see their son one last time and put him to rest.
Porja who was working as an agriculture labourer was electrocuted while plucking areca nut in a private farm in Angamaly on November 3. But his body could not be immediately flown back to his village and was being preserved at the Aluva taluk hospital since as he didn’t have Aadhaar card, which is mandatory for airlifting the body.
In the absence of the Aadhaar card, the district revenue authorities, in this case Mokokchung district in Nagaland, had to issue an attested verification report of the deceased to their counterparts in Ernakulam district. However, the deceased had left behind only aged parents and a differently-abled sibling back at home.
