The mortal remains of the deceased CPI State Secretary Kanam Rajendran were airlifted to Thiruvananthapuram from the Cochin International Airport Limited on Saturday, December 9, 2023 morning.
The body was taken to the airport in an ambulance in a funeral procession before being airlifted on a special chartered flight shortly after 8 a.m. The body was being accompanied by his son Sandeep, grandson and minister P. Prasad.
Initially, the idea was to take the body to Thiruvananthapuram by a helicopter straight from the hospital. However, that plan was dropped.
