Telangana: Wedding in Khammam Turns Covid Super-spreader as 100 Guests Including Bride And Groom Test Positive, 4 Dead

New Delhi: After attending a wedding ceremony in the Khammam district of Telangana, nearly 100 people have tested positive for coronavirus. Of the total 100, 4 people, including the bridegroom’s father succumbed to the infection. If reports are to be believed, over 250 people attended the ceremony, flouting COVID norms. Earlier this month, the Telangana government had restricted the number of people at weddings and funerals.

As per the orders, a maximum of 100 people can attend marriage-related gatherings and all these congregations will have to ensure physical distancing, use of masks, and other COVID-19 protocol.

According to the reports of Times of India, social distancing went for a toss at the wedding in Khammam. Besides, people were also spotted without protective masks.

The issue came to light after one of the attendees developed COVID symptoms and got himself tested. Reports have said that all those who tested positive, including the bride and bridegroom, are in isolation.

Earlier last month, a similar incident was reported when a marriage ceremony in Hanmajipet village Telangana’s Nizamabad became a Covid-19 super-spreader as 87 attendees tested positive for coronavirus.

Meanwhile, Telangana on Saturday reported 2,982 COVID-19 cases, taking the tally to over 5.74 lakh, while the toll stood at 3,247 with 21 casualties Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) accounted for the most number of cases with 436, followed by Nalgonda (190) and Khammam (176).

Chennai: A YouTuber named Maridhas has been arrested by the Tamil Nadu police from his residence in Madurai for his controversial tweet on the IAF chopper crash near Coonoor on Wednesday, in which India’s first Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat, his wife and 11 other armed forces personnel were killed. In the tweet, which he later deleted, Maridhas asked whether Tamil Nadu was turning into Kashmir under DMK rule. He also said in a separate tweet that cadres and sympathisers of DMK made fun of the passing away of General Rawat, adding that DMK was the first choice for separatist forces. BJP cadres had blocked the entry of police to his residence at Surya Nagar in Maduria and the police had to use force to take him into custody. Maridhas has been charged under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code by the Cyber Police. source https://www.india.com/news/india/tamil-nadu-youtuber-held-for-controversial-tweet-on-coonoor-air-crash-5132165/
