The victims of wild animal attacks who belong to the Scheduled Tribe
community have been riddled by challenges in claiming compensation from the
government due to lack of proper documents. However, amid this fuss, the
family of one of the victims has emerged successful in their efforts to
claim the money. The money will be released to the family of Mini, who
recently died in a wild elephant attack in Malappuram-Wayanad border, as
their missing documents were re-issued with the help of the District Legal
Services Authority.
Mini, 35, of Cholanayakkan tribe in Parappanpara, Muppainad panchayat in
the Meppadi forest range was trampled to death by a wild elephant on March
28 when she went to collect honey in the woods. She is survived by her
husband Suresh and five children. Suresh is still undergoing treatment at
the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital after the elephant attack. The
couple’s eldest son is 16-year-old and the youngest is 2-year-old. The
children are now being looked after by Mini’s sister and family in
Kambalappara, Kadassery in the Malappuram district. The team led by
Malappuram District Legal Service Authority Chairman and Manjeri Principal
Sessions Court Judge Sanil Kumar handed over the documents for the
inheritance certificate to the family of Mini on Wednesday.
“The children did not have Aadhaar cards and birth certificates. Two
children received their documents and other applications are under process.
The documents were made available in connection with the Integrated Tribal
Development Project (ITDP) officers and other departments,” said Malappuram
District Legal Service Authority Secretary and Sub-Judge M Shabir Ibrahim.
