Read the feature below:

A feature on Suhara, who is a fishmonger, won Sreekala the award. Suhara, 62, from Thrissur, sells fish on her cycle. The cycle is her mode of transport, and she pedals 20 kilometres every day to reach her customers with a variety of fresh fish. She sells on average 30-35 kilos of fish. After ten in the morning, Suhara is available for other chores like carrying cement at the building site, payment of bills of neighbours, irrigation works, and the like. She ekes a living also by transporting dead bodies found in queer circumstances. Suhara, educated up to the seventh standard, lives alone as both her parents are no more.
