She stated that she will soon return to Perinthalmanna to continue her services as sub collector.

Anju, who hails from Palakkad, married Dr J Navarosh, an ophthalmologist in Ahalia Hospital, Palakkad. The wedding was attended only by their closest relatives.

The wedding was earlier scheduled to be conducted in April and was postponed after lockdown had stalled all gatherings in the state. The wedding was solemnised with a minimum crowd on Saturday after necessary approvals from the government.

Anju was on COVID duty until May 1, just a day before her wedding. She is a 2017 cadre IAS officer.
