One farewell inside a Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) depot has moved beyond the usual circle of colleagues and family — all the way to the Chief Minister’s official timeline. Pinarayi Vijayan chose to share a video of driver Paul Kurian’s emotional farewell, originally posted by The Hindu on X, and turned a personal moment into a public tribute to the people who keep Kerala moving.

According to the original story, the Chief Minister’s post underlined Paul Kurian’s dedication to duty. The video, shared from The Hindu’s coverage on X, reportedly captures a farewell that carried visible emotion — the kind of send-off usually reserved for a colleague deeply respected in the workplace.
Vijayan’s message did not stop at appreciation. The headline report states that he also vowed to enhance the stature of public transport, attaching an institutional promise to a deeply personal moment.
