Sick Woman Reunited With Family After 15 Years in Erode
As her health improved, Nazareth Home director Rev. Arun Kumar took the initiative to trace and reunite Saradha with her family.
Erode: In a solemn, soul-stirring incident, a woman who recuperated from the Nazareth home for mentally-challenged in Thalavadi-Erode was reunited with her daughter and family after 15 years, with the help of police.
Saratha (45), a resident of Vellagoondanvalasu in Tiruppur district, was admitted to the Thalavadi Nazareth home in March 2011. Since then, she has been provided with medical treatment, care and rehabilitation services there.
As her health improved, Nazareth Home director Rev. Arun Kumar took the initiative to trace and reunite Saradha with her family. After a search was carried out with the help of Erode and Tiruppur district police, her daughter Ramya and son-in-law Durgaivel were traced.
Subsequently, Saratha was safely handed over to her daughter and son-in-law in the presence of Thalavadi police officer Ramesh. The heart-warming moment of the mother and daughter meeting again after about 15 years welled the eyes of those present with joy.
The Nazareth Home administration expressed its gratitude to the Tiruppur district police, Erode district police and Thalawadi police for their cooperation in this family reunification effort.
