Elderly man dies after falling into abandoned quarry at Angamaly in Keralam

An 80-year-old man named Varghese K.V. died after falling into an abandoned quarry located in Karukutty, near Angamaly in Kerala. According to the first information report filed by the Angamaly police, the man reportedly drowned in a pit lake within the quarry, which is part of his family's property. He was found after slipping into the water while cutting grass near the site. Despite being taken to the Angamaly taluk hospital, he was pronounced dead upon arrival. Local authorities noted that the quarry has been non-functional for years and is filled with water up to approximately 20 feet. A local ward member mentioned that Varghese was likely attempting to clear bushes around a motor pump used to draw water from the quarry. There is a compound wall separating the area from the quarry, and the panchayat had previously proposed building a protective wall around parts of the quarry accessible via a nearby road.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a factual account of an accidental death without overt ideological framing. While it mentions local governance efforts (panchayat proposals), it does not take a partisan stance toward any political entity or ideology. The focus remains on the incident itself and the associated安全
