Hyderabad: Malayalis bonded during a carnival in Secunderabad at St Mary’s School grounds on Sunday. Organised by the All India Malayalee Association, Telangana Unit, Malayalee families participated in games, enjoyed Kerala food and took in music and cultural programmes at the event.

B.C.R. Nair, Telangana state committee chairman, mentioned that the event brought together approximately 30 Malayali organisations in the twin cities. He said that the event served as a curtain-raiser for a national conference of the association, scheduled to be held in Hyderabad on July 6 and 7.
