The scenic sublimity of the Meenachil river is immortalised by Arundhati Roy in her Booker prize-winning novel, The God of Small Things. Roy skilfully presents the river flowing through the Aymanam village as a victim of human greed and callousness. The river is described in the book as a beautiful one that turns an ugly waste dump into which anything could be flung.
The president and the secretary of the Meenachal Nadee Samrakshana Samithi receive the Bhagirath Prayas Samman 2017 award from justice Madan Lokur of the Supreme Court of India.
