Youth lost his life at Illikkal Kallu

Kottayam, Sep 18 (UNI) One more youth lost his life at the picnic spot Illikkal Kallu near Erattupetta, a dangerous rock on the top of a hill situated at 3500 feet above sea level, as he fell into the 800-foot-deep ditch on Sunday. The deceased has been identified as Jeevan Jayanth (21) of Meeramukulath House of Sreekaryam near Thiruvananthapuram.

The tragedy struck at around 10 am while he and his five friends who were on a holiday trip were climbing down the rock. Jeevan slipped and fell down from the rock as fog and mist which covered the hill prevented clear visibility. He succumbed to death following the head injury on the spot. It took three hours to recover his body by the Fire Force with the help of local residents from a depth of around 800 feet.
