Padne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Padne is a Panchayat, or council of five neighbouring villages, in the southwest of Kasargod district, which occupies the northernmost part of the state of Kerala, India.
The Panchayat of Padne is composed of the villages of Thekkekad, Edachakai, Udinour, Padne North and Padne South, which were formerly part of the state of Karnataka. Padne became part of Kerala with that state's formation on November 1, 1956.
The majority of the population is Muslim, with a number of households having their male members working in cities like Mumbai, Bangalore or as expatriates in Gulf countries. Consequently there is an accumulation of wealth visible in palatial bungalows and proliferation of expensive vehicles.
Recently this sleepy village came into limelight when the Landcruiser which the famous Indian actor Salman Khan drove when he accidentally killed a pedestrian was sold to one of the resident here.
