IAS officer's tsunami-survivor god-daughter becomes mom

Their association began 20 years ago when she was rescued from the ruins left by the Indian Ocean Tsunami that struck the Tamil Nadu coast too. Dr Radhakrishnan was the district collector of Thanjavur when the tsunami laid waste and claimed thousands of lives in the erstwhile integrated Nagapattinam district on December 26, 2004. He was sent by the government to Nagapattinam to monitor the rescue works and soon was posted as the district's collector. There, Radhakrishnan met four-year-old Sowmya who lost her parents in the tsunami and was rescued by the nuns associated with the Velankanni shrine.
