'We're not against development.

'But all should understand that we also have the right to live.'

'They're also asking what to do..'

'..if they loose their house as well. - Do what?'

'Won't the Government make arrangements?'

'What should we do?'

'Shouldn't they understand it?'

'There wasn't any problem till now.'

'Isn't it only a few people?'

'Just four or five families.'

'That's true.'

'Even though there are only five families, they stand as one.'

'That Maniyan is their leader. - Yes, That's true.'

'Their house is among the one to be demolished.'

'So, this will be a fiery strike.'

'Madam.. Haven't many projects like this come up?'

'Haven't we witnessed many strikes?'

'What happened in the end?'

'They'll be noisy for a long time.'

'We just have to turn a blind eye towards it.'

'It will eventually die-down with time, sir.'

'Yeah, that's right. We haven't seen or heard anything.'

I don't think you'll see a more beautiful place than this..

.in this lifetime, sir.

Well, we don't decide it.

Aren't I trying a lot?

Anyways, the place is nice.

Beautiful scenery everywhere.

But you better not look at it. Focus on your driving.

Be careful.

Your license has expired.

Keep that in mind.

Didn't I tell you beforehand, Sir?

But you insisted that I should come.

Helpless me!

Wherever I went with you for joining..

I was able to work peacefully.

No need to boost that much.

I'm applying enough accelerator.

Sir, I think it's checking.

I guess we're in trouble.

No doubt about it.

Pull over.

To the front.

Thaara, madam.

No use worrying.

We have to face it.

Isn't it just for six months? After that..

Be it six months or one month..

What did I do wrong?

What next, madam?

Has sir left?

Yes. He left yesterday.

He'll join tomorrow.

Then what about you, madam?

No work stress anymore.

I'll just relax.

Will think about the rest later.

May we leave? - Okay.

The car is mine, sir.

And he? - I came as he called.

Where are you going?

He's the new Tehsildar, sir

How's everything?

Sreejesh and Amala had come.

Just left now.

Have you reached?

No. Almost there.

Police checking on the way.

- Oh, no. Raman's license had expired.

Thousand five hundred rupees went down the drain.

What a good time. - Oh, boy!

Is there much to travel?

Nope. I think just four to five kilometers from here.

I shall call after I reach.

We'll see about that.

Don't worry about it. - Okay, fine.

By the way..

I had talked to someone about a house.

I think it's ready.

I shall check and let you know. - Sure.

Sabu brother, that one.

No. A little more up.

Yes. That's fine.

Yes, take that flex. Move it from there.

Take everything away.

Nothing should be here when Sir comes.

Sure. We'll be careful.

Sir, let us go.

Done? Let's go. Yes, done.

[ A MALAYALAM SONG ]

What? - Nothing.

Get lost!

Will this do? - Yes, it's fine.

What a waste of time!

In front of an office that will be knocked down after the project...

What is the need for such a show?

Whatever! Isn't it good to have a board in the front?

That's true. - Put it to the side.

Put it there. - Okay.

Hey!

Where is Seetha?

What is she doing there while we're working here?

She's inside. Usual things.

She won't do anything. Won't come even if we call.

Damn! The charge has run out.

Will the power be restored soon, Ousep brother?

God knows! Look..

Madam, I have told you many times that this is an office.

Can't you do these things at home?

Yeah right!

Won't I have to waste time for making while at home?

This is very time-saving. - I pity you!

This way, I don't have to worry about it.

At least now you admitted that it's all make-up!

Hmm.. Not only make-up.

Filter also.

In total, very colourful!

Finished?

Yeah, finished.

Good work indeed!

Why the look?

It was said to clean-up before sir comes.

But you were just playing with your phone.

Really?

How could I do it, sir?

Will I be able to come back in this look?

I couldn't even complete the reel I was taking.

How to clean-up then?

God! No thanks.

Be in this look itself. We can at least bear with it!

That's true.

I heard you.

You proceed. Do something. No need to go in the sun.

Right, Jefferson?

Hey, I think sir has arrived.

Yes, come.

Sir..

Sir, I'm Satheesh.

This is Sethulakshmi.

Jefferson. - Greetings, sir.

Sreekumar.

Biju. Sabu, brother. - Greetings, sir.

Sir, how was the journey? - It was nice.

Was there any program here?

Yes, sir.

There were a few performances here yesterday. That's why.

Performances? What was that?

A strike is happening against our project.

There was office picketing yesterday as a part of it.

Oh, okay.

We had to call the police.

It then kind of got out of control.

That's what happened.

Are the such issues here where police and army needs to be called?

[ A HINDI SONG PLAYING ]

How is our new Tehsildar, sir?

He's smart.

It's said that he alone made the Meenampara project possible.

He tamed all the strikers there within no time.

So, he's a badass! - Definitely!

But will it happen here? Wasn't it politicians there?

They're easily convincible.

That's not the situation here. Right, sir?

What are you saying, brother?

Isn't the collector and all here to solve problems of the people?

What can a project officer do?

Not only that. Only after informing you..

Even after fixing the amount only...

we proceeded with this project.

Then how come only some people are against it now?

How do you plan to tame them?

Brother, there is no use taming or threatening people.

We'll see.

What is there to see?

You'll say so now.

We'll see after a while. - Yeah. That's true.

What is true?

I mean, what brother said is true.

It will not be easy to convince that Maniyan.

Maniyan?

Dear, Biju!

Just wait and see.

Doesn't it happen everywhere?

Don't you know what happens in the end?

Yeah, right!

Where is he staying now?

A house has been arranged at 'Kunchiravala'.

Ahh... That's good.

Doesn't he have wife and kids?

Yes, he have.

I heard that they'll also come.

She is working in the Food and Safety Department.

She is under suspension now.

Under suspension?

Yes.

For six months.

What for, sir?

Didn't our President come last week?

For that Medical College inauguration..

The sample of food meant for him was sent to the lab for being tested.

But the result came only day before yesterday.

A week before the result came..

..The President had lunch and returned to Delhi.

Sorry, sir.

No issues.

This is not her fault.

Don't you know our system?

She had done everything in the right way.

And no matter what..

The senior most will be blamed first.

It's not her fault.

So, didn't have to be alone.

Since it's vacation now..

She came here with our daughter.

We'll see about the rest later.

Okay, then. We'll meet later.

Okay, sir. Thank you.

That is where our project is blocked now.

No problems till 'Karayankutty'.

We have settled everything.

But there are a few problems there.

Not a few. A lot.

We can do something only if you allow us, sir.

You do one thing.

Meet Joseph.

Ask him to put up that file.

Let's wait and see.

We'll see what can be done.

Sir, this is not as simple as you think.

As you know, this is not a small mater.

It's a game with the Earth.

We all know what issues usually raise up regarding it.

That second house seen after bend is Maniyan's house.

That's the route of the alignment. We can't change it, sir.

Biju, bring it. - Okay.

Who is Maniyan.

There is such a guy here, Sir.

He is the one behind all this.

It's a bit difficult to tame him.

Nobody will cross his words here.

He has made almost two dozens of action councils throughout Kerala.

There lies our problem.

There are reasons for it.

From Mudappara onwards, the places are of biodiversity and heritage.

Not only that..

A whole backwater will be covered up.

They're making resort here covering backwaters.

Then why can't a road be made, sir?

That's not problem.

The people here should feel it's beneficial for them.

Satheesh, if we don't close our eyes to certain things now..

Everything will be destroyed before our eyes.

So, let's try. - Correct!

Half win once we tame Maniyan.

The rest lies within us. - That's true.

Hey, what are you up to? - Pappa!

Always playing?

Can I continue? - Go on, play.

Thara!

Thara! - Yes. You're here?

What a place this is.

Need to go a long way to buy something.

Walk a bit. Let your health get better.

Oh, my. You're scaring me with that look!

Why are you doing this?

Didn't you say this is a beautiful place?

That it's awesome.

Isn't this your chance to mingle with the nature? Do it.

They had called from the office in the morning.

Nothing..

Expressing their pity. What else!

I didn't care about it.

Let me ask you something. What were they doing then?

If they're this easy about the Indian President's arrival..

Just imagine about the normal people, Thara.

I'm the one who got into trouble.

I made Sreejesh call the lab that day itself.

I just don't understand what happened.

Thara..

Don't worry like this.

You can spend two month here.

Then, our daughter's school will open..

We'll think about it then.

Don't think about it now.

How hard it was to get that job.

I was careful about everything.

But now..

Everybody will say it's my fault.

Dear, Thara..

Don't keep brooding over it.

Stop worrying.

Isn't the investigation going on?

After that..

Everybody will understand that you are not at fault.

Then what's the problem?

Huh?

Go.

Go bring me a tea.

Go on.

Hurry up.

Hey, call someone to repair that washing machine.

It broke again?

Repair it soon. That room is full of water.

Pappa, come. Let's play. - My sweetheart!

You go and play. I'm very tired.

We'll play after some time.

Also, mum is a bit down now.

You go ahead. Go on.

There aren't that much problems here, sir.

They'll speak about development and go against it when the time comes.

That's correct.

Then amuse themselves watching Sancharam.

But they don't want anything to happen here.

Sir, who gets benefit from this?

This society.

A little bit of forest, field and lake might disappear.

But who gets the upper hand?

So, is this all a loss?

What loss?

The construction of this line was planned ages go.

But now..

The alignment is four kilometers away from the current line.

Thus, we will need to acquire little bit more land.

That's the problem now.

That's the issue, sir.

If we can adjust a little bit..

We will be able to omit some bends and places.

Yes, sir.

If we clear all that..

Hello.

Okay, fine. I'll be on my way. Come

Biju, start the jeep. Let's go to the site.

What's the problem here?

Sir, they're not letting us unload the generator here.

They're asking for three thousand rupees.

Three thousand? - Three thousand rupees?

Hey, sir!

Just give the money and you may unload, sir.

Why are you causing trouble always?

Hadn't we discussed about the rate earlier?

This is not included in that.

Brother, you ask for a fair rate.

We will give it. - What is this, sir?

Why bargain for this?

Can't we unload it? What do you say?

Let us see you do it?

Then do it. - Hello!

No need to threaten us.

This is a Government site.

We can't just give the money you demand.

It's all accountable.

But considering the special situation here..

This generator was allowed.

We know what to do about it.

We don't want to know all this. Either we unload it..

Or else you may do it.

Just give the money. We may leave.

Member..

They're asking three thousand to unload the generator.

What should we do?

We don't have that much money.

What is this guys?

Three thousand is.. Lower a bit.

Not possible, member

You stay out of this.

Isn't this for us as well? - Yes.

Cooperate with it.

What will we get from this, member?

We don't know if you have any benefits from this.

How dare you?

Mind your words.

Speaking utter rubbish?

Don't cause trouble here.

No need to get angry, member. We'll deal this matter.

What shall we do, sir.

Let's find some other way.

Shall we leave? - Yes.

Let's go.

Just give them the money, sir.

Poor guys.

Sir..

That is Maniyan.

What? What did you say?

They'll unload it. Just give the money.

That's it!

Unload it. No problem. But we can't give three thousand.

Then, you tell me. How much will you give?

Say five hundred, sir. Five hundred.

We can give five hundred rupees.

Heard it? - Five hundred rupees?

He'll give five hundred rupees. Unload it.

They're here to fight with us anyway.

Let them have some light.

Enough, guys. - You may leave, sir.

They'll unload it.

Tell them where to unload it.

Ask the labourers about it. To be done as per their convenience.

Shall we leave, sir?

Come, Murali.

Let's unload it and leave - Pradeep, come unload it.

Come, guys. - Come.

Sir..

See how they reacted when he said..

..five hundred in the place of three thousand.

Biju, start the jeep.

Sir..

That action council person is the problem.

They won't let it happen. - It will change when we start,

Haven't we seen it many times?

Strikes and chaos

It will takes it's own course.

Oh, yes.

No.

Loosing one's home is not a silly thing.

The government will build them a new home.

Why should we worry about it?

Sir, you do one thing.

You study the files. We'll discuss about it then.

Yes. How about it, sir. - We'll see.

We shall solve it in a way where nobody is troubled.

Yes, sir. All are poor people here.

By the way..

We should give demolishing notice tomorrow itself.

It's a waste waiting for him.

Okay.

Why waste our time? - What's up.

That has been solved.

Let's go have a tea. - Okay, fine.

Be careful with your words. - Oh, wow!

Oh, wow! - What happened?

The reel I posted a few minutes ago has got 1k reach!

I got a bit carried away. - Oh, you!

Crazy lady!

Aren't you a Government employee, madam?

You shouldn't act crazy here.

This is a road.

Do all this while you are sitting at home bored.

Don't me it the talk of the town.

Got it?

Come, sir.

Hello.

Brother, give it. - Just a minute.

How are things, Biju?

I've been waiting here for a long time.

Is it so?

Then do one thing, take your time and repair the jeep.

I shall take an auto.

Okay, fine. No problem.

Take your time.

Brother, money. - Ask Rajesh to call me.

Okay, I shall. - Here you go.

Okay, then.

Sir..

Why behaving like you don't know me?

But we don't know each other.

That's correct.

Shouldn't we get to know each other?

We may, soon.

Sir.

I don't have any grudges against you.

Why should we have grudge towards a person who we don't know?

Sure. That's that, then.

But..

People like you should understand our problems, sir.

As it's not happening..

.. we're still enemies.

Dear, friend..

We're just doing our job.

No matter what happens..

We'll do it.

Dear, sir. That's not going to happen here.

I wasn't joking, sir.

You'll leave this place just like that.

That's for sure.

You won't like this place.

Not only you.

Your wife or daughter won't like it.

It's true, sir.

Why this threat, Maniyan?

Now you listen..

This place is beautiful.

This climate and the people also.

So, I've decided to stay here.

If so, become one among us.

No need for games from the other side.

I know my battlefield well.

I'll play a sturdy game from there.

Sir..

Is everyone at home well, sir?

To 'Edamadu', please. - Please get in, sir.

Thaara..

Thaara!

Thaara!!

Sweetheart..

Sweetheart!

Sweetheart!

Thaara!

Thaara!

Thaara!

Thaara?

Sweetheart!

Dear!

Thaara!

Thaara!!!

Thaara..

Thaara!

Thaara!

Thaara..

Where were you both? I've been here for a long time.

We went to that clinic.

Why didn't you call me? - She was crying with stomach pain.

So, I though of bringing her before the doctor leaves.

Couldn't you have informed me through phone?

I was scared to death.

I had called you.

Open fast.

What did the doctor say?

He gave medicine for two days.

I think it's because of the mango we bought yesterday.

Didn't I tell you it's not good.

By the way, why so early today?

How are you now? - I'm not well, pappa

Go lie down. - Okay.

Go on.

What is there to think so much about?

It's been a long time. - Nothing much.

It's there during the daytime also.

I feel scared hearing it.

Why be scared?

Why?

People roaming around forest since a long time won't be scared..

But I'm not like that.

To be honest..

I'm scared even to go out.

Thank, God! Saw you laugh today.

Why were you so serious?

Did you get scared not seeing us in the evening?

A little.

Not because of anything.

I met that Action council leader Maniyan on my way home.

I had a few words with him.

A few words? Why?

If you ask why..

In general, we're his enemies.

He sees us as people who came to hurt them.

Also, he said a dialogue.

What dialogue?

That.. If everyone at home are well.

When you were both missing..

That's what came into my mind.

Well, how come you are enemies?

Aren't you doing your duty? - They also know it.

Whoever steps forward while they're trying to protest..

..are their enemies.

Don't we have to do our duty?

Always into trouble whether we do it properly or not.

In that case, may I ask you something?

What wrong did you do to get suspended?

Thaara..

I didn't say it to hurt you.

Sreejesh had called in the morning.

He said that the enquiry report will be submitted on Monday.

There are a few 'Adivasi' tribe huts there.

It's them singing.

They often do it in the night.

It's their happiness.

Clear the way!

Is this place your father's dowry?

Clear away!

What's up with you? - What is it you?

Clear away. - What?

What will you do if I don't? - I'll drive over it.

Damn you!

Then try me.

Let me see how tough you are.

Because of your damn driving, we can't go out in peace.

Once someone goes out, we at home are on pins and needles.

I'll end it today itself.

Your threats won't scare this Revathi.

What now? Don't you want to crush me?

I will crumble you into pieces if you don't get this out of my way.

Get lost you!

What the hell are you looking at? Get lost!

What do you want? - How dare you?

Planning to get me beaten up? - Don't you dare!

Why are you taking video? - Get lost, you. Go away!

' Many vehicles are stuck on the road. '

' Many complaints were made, but response from authorities were disappointing. '

' That has led to this incident. '

Sir..

Sir..

This is Revathi.

The biggest headache of 'Maruthimala' quarry.

They cause one trouble or the other every day.

Isn't it to live?

Sir, nobody there has any problems.

Just a few of them still haven't budged.

Sir..

There is no use in you preaching.

Go with the flow.

That's what we should do.

What's the use in retaining these hills and mountains?

Sir, we should do something soon.

Sir, it's not something to laugh about.

Just think about it, sir.

Everybody here wants a house.

Don't we need rocks for it? Don't we need sand and metal?

Where else can we get it from?

Sir, aren't the ones making chaos also building with these things?

The one blocking our Karayamkutty project..

He is doing it by making some people side with him.

Please meet him, sir.

Make him understand the situation.

It'll be good if it works out.

[ TV NEWS CONTINUES ]

It's time. Shall we go? - Yes. We shall, sir.

They have come to the forest and are living without proper documents.

They are the ones causing trouble.

No problem with others. - Okay.

Okay. - Okay, sir.

Sir.. - Yes?

That Revathi is scoring.

I saw it.

Let's see how far she goes.

What's up? Did you talk to him?

I've told him the matter.

Let sir talk in person. It's us that he don't like.

Still..

I'll just tell him once more.

[ AUDIO PLAYING ON MOBILE ]

All are saying that it will be solved if you talk to Maniyan.

Hey, Satheeshan. Why should I go and meet him?

What for? It's not needed.

Also, their problems have already been solved.

Only a number of them are into strike and chaos.

Sir..

These are files on environmental impact study.

Nothing will happen if they move from here.

They can continue with their same job in the new place.

Yes, sir. - That is what this file says.

Everybody might not be able to.

And.. aren't you seeing many things?

Isn't it why some people are remaining and striking.

It will all change, sir.

If situation changes, people will have to change.

This is just a matter of changing the alignment.

If not, we would have left the job long ago.

So that is your problem.

Want to leave this place soon.

We have many limitations in this matter.

In all cases, the ones taking decision..

.. are the higher officials.

Our role in it is very limited.

There is no use if I meet people as you suggested.

Why don't you get it?

Since you are new, you can mildly..

What if they obey?

Hey, Satheeshan.

For an unnecessary matter..

Doing an unnecessary thing..

Why should I get into trouble?

One person is already sitting at home.

Are you saying that I should also do the same?

Oh, sir. That's not what we meant.

Yeah, I got it.

What should I see him regarding?

If the higher ups find out..

You know what they will take it for.

Sir.. - And, Sreekumar..

What is the course of this line?

One fifty metres from here, there is a..

What happened? Will he do it?

I don't think so. We'll see.

I thought so.

Thought what?

That it won't happen.

Then why did you send me in?

What?

I forced you?

I just asked the update. - Isn't it enough?

Sethulakshmi..

Hey, seems like it will rain.

Shall we leave early?

Let us go.

Come on, guys. - Special Tehsildar Go back.

Stop the jeep. - Go back, go back..

Special tehsildar go back.

Go back, go back. Special Tehsildar, go back.

Go back, go back. Special Tehsildar, go back.

Go back, go back. Special Tehsildar, go back.

Stop this.

What are you doing? - Wait a bit, sir.

Aren't you going for survey?

You leave after making a solution.

Maniyan!

Don't make unnecessary issues.

Let us do our job.

You can go after giving us a solution.

You should understand one thing.

It's the Collector who should find a solution to this matter.

Not us.

There is no use protesting with us.

We know that very well, sir.

We got no solution from the collector.

We don't hope for anything anymore.

Let the collector come here and make a solution.

You can go after that, sir.

Everybody sit down. Sit.

Go back, go back. Special Tehsildar, go back.

Special Tehsildar, go back. - Go back, go back.

[ PROTEST CONTINUES ]

No to bridge, no to road; Need nothing more done.

No to bridge, no to road; Need nothing more done.

[ PROTEST CONTINUES ]

I think things will be tough today.

[ PROTEST CONTINUES ]

Maniyan!

Don't cause unwanted issues.

We are not causing any problems.

Please don't interrupt our duty.

Beware!

Don't get yourself into trouble.

Is there any need for this show?

Before how many days the notice was given to you..

..that the survey will be done today?

Where were you all this time? - Really?

Should we have come and sat here then itself?

Maniyan, you better shorten your words and stay aside.

Go back, go back. Special Tehsildar, go back.

Go back, go back. Special Tehsildar, go back.

No to bridge, no to road; Need nothing more done.

No to bridge, no to road; Need nothing more done.

Go back, go back. Special Tehsildar, go back.

If you obstruct our duty, we'll have to call the Police.

This protest here is useless.

I've said what I should.

[ PROTEST CONTINUES ]

Hello.

Police station..

[ PROTEST CONTINUES ]

[ PROTEST CONTINUES ]

Clear away. Get up.

Get up and move. Come on.

Get up. Let the jeep go. Clear the way.

Move him away. Come on. - Sir, sir. Please don't.

Police go back.- Move aside.

Police go back.

Get lost. Move away. All clear!

No use protesting here. - Police go back.

Move him away. - Police go back.

Police go back.

Police go back.

Please go, sir. We'll take care of them.

Okay.

Start the jeep. Clear away!

Clear everybody.

Clear away!

Move aside. Come on.

Go back.

Tehsildar, go back.

Tehsildar, go back.

Tehsildar, go back.

Tehsildar, go back.

Tehsildar, go back.

They're simply scaring people here.

The alignments have been published earlier.

They can know the route if they check it once.

Oh, sir!

Would they have caused all this if they understood all that?

Drive carefully, man.

Driving like this, people fall into some pothole.

And then, they'll blame the poor Government for it.

Finally, when the Government decides to do something..

..they'll come preaching about forest, hills and lakes.

Sir..

Sir! - Yes?

What are you thinking about, sir?

Are we going via Manian's home?

Maniyan's house is near the Chappath.

Why, sir? - Can you show me the house?

We're not going that way...

We can go that way if you wish. Your call, sir.

Do one thing. - Yes, sir?

Go that route.

Just to see it. - Okay.

Sir..

This is the place.

Walk fifty metres up this road and turn a bend.

There is only one house there but not accessible by vehicle.

Shall we go?

[ A VIDEO PLAYING ]

Instead of playing with the mobile, can you make me a tea?

Well!

This lady should be applauded.

Fighting them alone. That too, at this age!

Not alone. Many are with her.

Yeah. There are many watching and enjoying.

Look at this.

See how many men are there.

Is any one of them intervening?

Nobody will.

All are scared.

Nope. All are courageous like you.

Is there anybody who doesn't love to live?

Look. They're giving everything the people here need.

What's the problem then?

Right!

Sit contently with what you get.

We'll see what will happen in the future.

No problem at all. Go get me a tea, sir.

The officer who came to build hill-way road won't understand it.

Yeah, right!

Thaara..

Need to go to Chappath tomorrow.

You know that highway project?

There is a strike team leader.

One Mr. Maniyan.

I need to have a chat with him.

What to talk to him?

Isn't he that lady's brother?- Is it?

Yes.- How do you know it?

It's mentioned in the video I was seeing now.

Nobody told me about such a relationship.

It's here. Please stop.

How much? - Hundred.

Pardon? - Hundred, sir.

[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]

Isn't this Maniyan's house?

Yes.

Come inside.

Please sit, sir.

[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]

Hi..

Who is it, sister?

The officer of that highway project.

Is it?

Why is he here?

Probably about making us leave.

What else could it be?

[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]

Is Maniyan home?

I would like to have a few words with him.

He has gone out.

Can we expect him anytime now?

I don't know. He said he'll be home before noon.

[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]

I'm leaving. - Okay.

How did you recognise me?

This is the third person they're sending here, sir.

To be honest, nobody sent me. Please don't misunderstand.

Maniyan.. When will he come?

Where has he gone?

He didn't say that.

He said he'll come before lunch.

Is it?

People here are commoners, sir.

Made a small life with everything we saved up.

Suddenly one day, we're asked to leave it behind and go..

But you have nothing to loose because of it.

Gains only.

Aren't they giving a good amount to all?

Aren't there many things more valuable than money, sir?

Didn't you build rooms called quarters for the tribes long ago?

What happened to it? Did anybody live there?

No, right?

Their life is in that forest.

It's not possible to leave the place forever in a bloom.

It's the same here, sir.

You won't understand that.

[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]

You may leave, sir. The rain will only increase.

Tell my why you came. I can tell him if you inform me.

[ THUNDER INCREASING]

You may leave, sir. I shall talk to him.

It's okay.

What's your name, son? - Appu.

Is it possible to call Maniyan on mobile?

My, son! - Ouch!!

We're getting reports that a landslide has occurred at Kuyilumaala in Idukki district.

Landslide has occurred in the Chappath area.

'Kindly try after some time.'

Rescue mission is becoming more difficult.

Volunteers and villagers have joined hands.

The situation there is very heart-breaking.

Many families are missing.

How many people or who all..

We haven't got any details yet.

'Many strikes have happened here regarding hill-top highway.'

This place has therefore been on the news several times.

This is where such an incident has happened.

So, it has some other dimensions as well, Arun.

Unfavorable weather may adversely affect the rescue operation.

But the weather seems clear as of now.

Actions are being taken to bring in more Police and rescue workers.

Eh.. but we can see that reaching here is..

Yes, madam. Has sir arrived?

No. I called him many times. Call not connecting.

Madam, we're also trying.

He hasn't said anything to us.

Tried calling you many times but was not going through.

Don't worry, madam. Let us try again.

Sir, I have something to tell you.

What is it, madam?

There was some problem between him and a Maniyan.

A problem?

I don't know the details.

I didn't ask much as our daughter was ill.

Isn't it Maniyan's house...?

No problem, madam.

No need to worry because of that.

Let's see.

I shall call you soon.

Okay, then.

'We're getting very positive reports now.'

'Rescue team has been able to enter the house.'

'Also, his brother had gone out earlier..'

'Only his wife and child are remaining inside.'

Yes, tell me.

Sir, I have something to tell you.- Yes?

That is..- Say quickly.

Last day when we went for inspection..

Ratheesh sir had asked for Maniyan's house.

And?

Sir took photos of the way to the house when we reached there.

Why are you saying it only now?

Sir, but we don't know yet..

Didn't you ask why he asked for the house and took photo?

Didn't sir say anything?

We asked but he didn't say anything.

He denied when I told him to meet Maniyan.

Fine. Hang up now. Let me check it out.

We had got the body of the child who got trapped in the house.

We've got the mother. She is alive.

They're trying hard to reach the hospital at the earliest.

Everything is ready at the hospital.

Amidst the good news that the mother's life has been saved..

..it's very painful that the child's life could not be saved.

Open the door. Open. Move aside.

Everybody to the side.

Quickly, inside. Hurry, up!

Hold tight.

Get inside.

Inside. Move aside.

Come on. Clear the way!

Come on. Start the vehicle. Keep going. Go on!

Two people got trapped here in this tragedy.

At the end of one and a half day long search..

We have found both of them.

Unfortunately..

The child is no more.

The condition of the mother?

We cannot say anything about it now.

We've done needful to get her to the hospital soon.

More details will be given later.

What will be done next since they have been found?

What has the Government decided? - Since we have got everybody..

We've ended the rescue operation.

Appropriate compensation will be given after discussing with the government.
