"Dear sister, I can't get this letter off my mind. Kerala will always remember your courage," Kerala Tourism Minister Kadakampally Surendran wrote.
Calling it an unparalleled sacrifice, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the entire state stands with the family at the time of grief.
Dr Kafeel Khan, the pediatrician who was arrested for the death of infants at the Gorakhpur hospital earlier this year, and is now out on bail called Lini "an inspiration".
He also offered to work at the Calicut Medical college during the time of crisis.
Reacting to his offer, the Kerala chief Minister said the government welcomes all medical experts including him, to the state who are willing to offer their services.
Many professionals have expressed their interest to work in Nipah affected areas. The Government of Kerala welcomes their service. Those who are interested to volunteer must contact the director of Health Dept. or the Superintendent of the Government Medical College, Kozhikode.
