Emotional tale of a Kerala kid and its happy ending

During lock down when the whole country is busy fighting with the pandemic, an interesting event has been witnessed in Kerala. In a cheerful development a kid finally earned reward for his love for trees. And of course job of the Police is commendable in this incident.

Pavan Nash is a 12-year-old student from Ernakulam district of Kerala. Two years back he had planted a gooseberry tree in his yard. He was regularly taking care of the tree like a family member.
