A police couple near Kodaikanal Road have donated groceries for a month to the orphanage for the helpless on their one month salary. Anbalagan is the Chief Constable of the Ammayanayakkanur Police Station near Kodaikanal Road in Dindigul District. His wife Selvarathnam works as a Chief Constable at the Vilampatti Police Station.
The couple, who usually make small donations, decided to help people affected by corona damage and curfew. The two discussed and decided to spend their one month salary for this.
Following this, the two bought groceries, vegetables, essentials and bedsheets, including a month’s worth of rice, from their paychecks and donated them directly to the old age home and mentally challenged children’s home near Ammayanayakkanur.
The humanitarian work of the police couple was appreciated by all. The Dindigul DIG, Muthuchamy, who came to know about this, thanked them, and said, “I knew these people were already involved in public service. I wondered if they were serving because they had no children. But when questioned they have two sons. It takes a big mind to look after the children’s expenses and help out.”
