IAS officer who rescued tsunami survivor officiates her wedding in Tamil Nadu
Nagapattinam: IAS officer Dr J Radhakrishnan, who played a key role in rescue and rehabilitation efforts during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, officiated the wedding of Meena, the youngest survivor he had helped.
Meena was found as a child near the debris in Keechankuppam after the tsunami devastated Nagapattinam, claiming over 6,000 lives. She was placed in Annai Sathya Government Children’s Home, where Radhakrishnan and his wife, Krithika, continued to support her. Over the years, he remained a guiding figure in her life, helping her become a nurse.
When Meena decided to get married, Radhakrishnan travelled to Nagapattinam to be part of the ceremony. Several survivors who had lived and studied with her at the children's home attended the wedding as her family.
Sharing the moment on Instagram, Radhakrishnan described it as a "heartwarming reunion" and expressed joy at seeing the children he had supported grow, study, and start their own families. The post received widespread appreciation, with social media users lauding his dedication and long-standing support.
