Behind all our successes, there are relentless sacrifices made by our parents, and one must be always grateful to them. Suggesting such affection is a photo of a young police officer touching his mother’s feet which has gone viral on social media. Many have been left teary-eyed seeing the picture.

IPS Bhaskar Rao, ADGP of the Karnataka State Reserve Police, who shared the photo, stated the man in the photo is a sub-inspector and the photo was clicked on a very special occasion. “A grateful son (Police Sub-inspector) in reverence and gratitude to his Single Mother who could not attend his Passing out Parade,” Rao wrote in a tweet accompanying the photo.

Alappuzha: A 48-year-old man from Thalavady in Kuttanad's Alappuzha district died of cholera on May 16, at a private hospital in Thiruvalla. Raghu P.G., a resident of Thalavady grama panchayat Ward VI, died. He was being treated after being admitted to the hospital due to a fever and diarrhea.

According to health officials, he had underlying co-morbidities and his condition deteriorated before being admitted to the Thiruvalla institution. This is the second cholera-related fatality in Kerala in 2025. Earlier in April, a 63-year-old man from Kowdiar in Thiruvananthapuram, Ajai Chandran, also died of the disease.

The Health Department and local panchayat have launched disease surveillance and sanitation drives in Thalavady. Water samples from wells and nearby waterbodies have been collected for testing as part of the containment measures.
