Girl who returned from China hell-bent on attending marriage; Collector finally steps in to console her…

THRISSUR: A China-returnee, who had been insisting that she would attend a marriage function, was finally persuaded by the district collector to avoid attending the function.

The girl hailing from Thrissur had been in China’s Wuhan for higher studies and she had only recently returned to Kerala. There was already standing instruction from the government that those people returning from China should be isolated for a specified number of days.

The health minister had also directly requested these people not to attend any public functions including marriages. The wedding took place the other day. As the girl was hell-bent on attending the function, the parents informed the authorities about the embarrassing situation they were in. Following this the collector and DMO made a surprise visit to the girl’s house in order to create awareness in her.

After lots of explanation and coaxing, the girl agreed to skip the function.
