A couple of quick notes before you file:
- Kept “Kerala” in the table rather than “Keralam” (PIB’s spelling) since ET Online copy convention uses the standard English form — flag if you want to retain PIB’s exact usage.
- Left the ministry quote verbatim since it’s an official statement being directly attributed, not reworded copy.
- Want me to also draft the 2-3 line social copy (X/LinkedIn) to go with this byline?
