Wed, Aug 23 2023Sad incident... I have interacted with Tamil people at construction sites... They are very emotional people when it comes to certain beliefs or way of life... Unfortunately for the couple there was no one at that instant to instill reason... They had a lot of life remaining... RIP to the departed souls....
