Joyalukkas clears way for glittering' life to flood-hit

Deccan Chronicle  

Alappuzha: Life will no longer be the same for P.T. The Joyalukkas Foundation, the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of jeweller Joyalukkas, will build a 495 sq-ft house worth Rs 5 lakh for them. He was chosen as a beneficiary of the foundation's scheme to build some 250 houses across the state under the rebuilding efforts after this newspaper carried a report about him titled 'Flood-hit loses new house by a whisker' on December 22 last. His family consisting of his wife Sreelekha, two kids Theertha, and Thejas, and an ailing mother, 73, had virtually become homeless when the flood water nearly submerged his house. The government officers who prepared the beneficiary list under 'Rebuild Kerala' had turned down his application for a new house as it was recorded that the house had suffered only 74 percent damage.
