PONNANI: The people of Ponnani are surprised and shocked when the glittering gold ornaments of a bride and her relatives turned silver the next day of the wedding. The incident happened at the house of Methi Haneefa in Palappetti. Almost 30 sovereigns of gold of Haneefa’s daughter and relatives turned silver. Though the inmates of the house and locals are in a panic situation, experts say the quantity of ammonia found in gold may be the reason for the colour change. It is also stated that as the house is near to the sea, the reaction of any chemical activity may have led to the colour change. Though a small colour change was noticed on Saturday, it was not taken seriously as they were busy with the marriage preparations. They got panicked when the ornaments turned silver colour. Anyway, they are planning to approach experts to know the truth.
