Kalady (Kerala): An Aadhaar card has helped an 80-year-old mother from Kerala, who had been waiting for the past 16 years to hear from her son, trace him to the Agauda central prison in Goa.

The aged mother, Kalyani, hailing from Sreemoolanagaram village near Nedumbasery airport, has been living alone in her dilapidated house, hoping her son, V V Mohan, who had gone to Goa in search of a job 16 years ago, would turn up some day.
