A Final Farewell to Marxist Icon V S Achuthanandan

Thousands gathered to pay their final respects to Marxist veteran V S Achuthanandan, who passed away at 101. The road outside the AKG Centre was filled with people from all walks of life waiting to honor the respected leader.

Achuthanandan, a foundational figure in India's Communist movement, served as Kerala's Chief Minister and was known for championing workers' rights and land reforms. Despite his demise in a hospital's critical care unit, his legacy continues to inspire many.

The large turnout at his public homage in Kerala's former party headquarters was a testament to his impact on political history. Arrangements were made for a respectful farewell as crowds awaited their chance to pay tribute.
