By standing in the flooded street in front of the camera she said, “I'm not able to stand here. I'm shivering".
"I was aware of the floods here, but the pathetic condition of Kammattipadam natives was perceived after seeing the news about Selin", said justice Ranjith Krishnan. Officials, including the village officer visited Selin’s house abiding by the directions of justice Ranjith Krishnan. Village officer VC Rajan assured immediate actions to rehabilitate Selin.
