Now, she visited Koothattukulam again with her family to thank Sreedhareeyam and for follow up treatments.The family came here on February 7, 2022 and stayed here for 5 days and while the former PM has left for Delhi his daughter will stay back at Sreedhareeyam for treatment till Feb 28.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
