We keep our home clean: People clean Kerala shelter before leaving
August 23 : The rains that pounded Kerala over the last few weeks have eased, and flood waters are slowly receding. During the difficult time, many people came forward to offer help. Some opened up their homes, while others gave away a huge chunk of inventory so the affected could get relief.
As people leave relief camps and return to flood-battered homes to begin the long process of rebuilding their lives, there are some who have endeavoured to show their deep appreciation for the generosity that they received.
A case in point are the people who sought shelter at the Kongorpilly Govt Higher Secondary School, in the Koonanmaavu district. The fourth floor of the school, was sheltering 1200 people, before they were moved to a relief centre. However, before they moved, the occupants left the premises in a spotless condition, as a gesture of thanks.
A Facebook post, which includes a photograph of a room in the school which was used by the displaced people, has gone viral on social media. In the photograph, you can see the spotless floor, which is so clean that the windows shine off the scrubbed surface. Not a single packet of any wrapper or garbage can be seen, and it is extremely hard to believe that the room was once occupied to the brim.
The post even quotes one of the occupants, who said, “This place was home for me for last four days. How can I leave it dirty ? We keep our home clean right?”

'Strong evidence' available against Saif attacker, police tell court while opposing his bail plea
Mumbai, Jul 25 (PTI): Police have opposed the bail plea of the Bangladeshi national arrested for allegedly stabbing Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan with a knife and injuring him at his home here in January this year, telling a Mumbai court there was "strong evidence" against the accused.
Citing a Forensic Science Laboratory report, police reiterated before the sessions court their earlier claim knife fragments that got lodged near the actor's spine during the attack as well as a part found at the crime spot have matched with the weapon recovered from the accused, Shariful Islam.
These three pieces were part of the same weapon (knife) used to attack the filmstar, the police said in a written response to the accused's plea submitted in the court on Thursday (July 24).
Khan was repeatedly stabbed with a knife by an intruder inside his 12th floor apartment in upscale Bandra on January 16 during a robbery attempt.
The 54-year-old actor underwent surgery at Lilavati Hospital to remove a piece of knife that got lodged near his spine during the attack. He was discharged from the private hospital after five days.
Shariful Islam, a Bangladeshi national, was arrested two days later for allegedly stabbing Khan.
The police, in their response, highlighted that the accused is a Bangladeshi citizen residing illegally in India.
If granted bail, there was a possibility that he may flee India and not appear before the court during the trial. The crime committed by the accused is of a "very serious nature, and strong evidence" is available against him, they argued.
In his bail plea, filed through advocate Vipul Dushing, the accused asserted he was innocent and had no prior criminal record.
Investigation into the case has practically concluded with only the filing of a chargesheet pending, the accused contended while seeking bail.
The alleged attacker has been booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections related to house trespass, robbery and dacoity with attempt to cause death or grievous injury.
