Over 100 pairs of twins, several triplets to assemble in Kochi for meet-up on August 31

Over 100 pairs of identical twins and several sets of triplets from across Kerala will come together for a special meet-up to be held here on August 31, organisers said on Friday.

The event is being conducted by the All Twins Association (ATA) and the All Kerala Twins Community (AKTC) at the Ernakulam Town Hall, the ATA office-bearers said.

ATA secretary Viswas Vavolil, hailing from Ranni, said the group began in 2018 as a social media community named the AKTC and had since grown to include more than 800 pairs of identical twins and triplets as members.

“We conduct various events to strengthen our bonding. This will be our third meeting since the AKTC was started. Apart from around 100 twins, we expect five triplets to take part in the event. We currently have 800 twins and 10 sets of triplets as members.

“If counted individually, that is over 1,500 people. We have individuals ranging from 70 years to young children in the group. Several members are working abroad. Our group is further growing with new members joining us after coming to know about such an initiative,” Viswas said.

He said that the group primarily stays connected through social media platforms.
