Wayanad(Keralam), Nov 10 (PTI) Keralam Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala on Tuesday honoured two nuns, who have helped thousands come out of drug addiction, with the ‘Toofan Warrior’ badge at a ceremony held in Mananthavady here.
Chennithala shared a video of the event on his Facebook, saying that Sister Maria Celine Plamoottil and Sister Mary Ann Nellikkayat “lifted more than 10,000 people from the darkness of addiction to the light of life.
The minister said that the two nuns, with the support and leadership of the Bishop of the Mananthavady diocese, have been providing selfless service for decades at the Vincent Giri De-Addiction Centre.
Their services have served as a breath of life for many broken families, he added in his post accompanying the video.
Chennithala said the two women can only be called guardian angels as they are continuing their “mission of mercy” despite the infirmities of age.
“The fight against addiction is not limited to hunting; it is also about bringing broken souls back to life by comforting them. That is the face of caring that ‘Toofan Care’ puts forward,” the minister said. PTI HMP ROH
