Kannur: The anxious wait of a family in Iritty has ended in heartbreaking tragedy after their 22-year-old daughter, who had been working in Japan, was found dead after being hit by a train. The deceased has been identified as V. Devika, daughter of Prakashan and Beena of Thekkanveettil House in Nidiyode, Iritty, Kannur.

Devika was found dead following a train accident in Kamigahara, Japan. According to the information received by her family, the incident occurred at around 10.20 pm Indian time on Wednesday. Her identity was reportedly confirmed after an identification card recovered from the scene was examined by the authorities.

Devika had travelled to Japan after completing a Laboratory Technician course. She had been working as a nursing assistant at Igalo Chovan Social Welfare Corporation. She had joined the organisation around six months ago under a three-year employment contract.

The family had been deeply worried after Devika went missing from her workplace. Her relatives had approached authorities, including the Chief Minister, seeking assistance in locating her. The family was hoping for her safe return when they received the devastating information that she had been found dead following the train accident.

The news has left Devika's family and the local community in Iritty shocked and grief-stricken. She had travelled to Japan with hopes of building a career and had only recently begun working there.

The family is now facing challenges in bringing Devika's mortal remains back to Kerala. According to her relatives, the local administration had expressed difficulties regarding the procedures required to repatriate the body. Following this, the family sought assistance from the Indian Embassy.

Relatives are currently coordinating with the Indian Embassy, expatriate organisations and elected representatives to complete the necessary formalities and bring Devika's body back home.

Devika's untimely death at the age of 22 has caused profound grief among her relatives, friends and the people of Iritty. The family is now awaiting the completion of the procedures so that they can bring their daughter home and perform the final rites.
