The mortal remains of former Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan reached Alappuzha on Wednesday morning, delayed significantly from the initial plan.
An unexpected surge of mourners, eager to pay final respects to the Marxist stalwart, slowed the procession. Achuthanandan's lifelong advocacy for workers drew admirers to his last journey.
Leaving Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday, the bus carrying Achuthanandan covered what is typically a four-hour trip to Alappuzha in nearly 16 hours. Throughout the journey, people braved the elements to offer their tributes.
