Nipah killed 17 people in Kerala
Premchandran and Sandra’s wedding date was first set in May 2018. However, during this period the Nipah virus spread in Kozhikode and Malappuram districts and led to the death of 17 people. The government banned crowds in social events. As a result, Premchandran’s marriage to Sandra was postponed. When the transition to Nipah was over, the families of the two decided to marry again in September last year. During this, Onam Festival was also a holiday. However, a month ago in August, Kerala suffered severe floods. Due to this, marriage did not happen again. The family then waited 6 months and fixed the wedding on 20 March. This time due to the restrictions imposed by Corona, the two could not get married.
