KOZHIKODE: The state government has heard the sufferings of P.R. Arya Raj, who scored A-plus in all subjects in the SSLC examination even while caring for her father who had slipped into a coma after a road accident four months ago.

Labour Minister T.P. Ramakrishnan and Transport Minister A.K. Saseendran on Thursday visited the rented premises at Malapparamba in the city where her family is staying now. It was an accident at Kottayam in December last that hit the family hard.

P.R. Rajan, Arya’s father, suffered grievous head injuries in the incident. He lost his memory and a side of his body got paralyzed. Sabitha Rajan, Arya’s mother, also have health issues and cannot take up her tailoring job. It was Keralakaumudi’s report that bought the case into the government’s notice.

Ramakrishnan told Ms. Sabitha that the government would try to help the family but could not make any announcements now as the model code of conduct was in force. An expert team from the Kozhikode medical college inspected Rajan on Ramakrishnan’s directions.
