Xavier and Carmel walked into their new home, apartment 24 A in Pratheeksha. As Xavier opens the door of their new house, Carmel tells TNM that this house is a dream come true for the couple whose house in Valiyathura was damaged by coastal erosion and rough sea in 2016.

“We somehow managed to survive in that broken house for the last two years. Looking around this apartment, we feel like we are in heaven,” said Xavier as he is done checking out his new home.
