Pathanamthitta: A DYFI (Democratic Youth Wing Federation of India) activist's birthday celebration went viral on social media. Vettipuram native Shiyas celebrated his birthday by holding a car rally and cake-cutting ceremony at St Peter's Junction here. Around 20 cars participated in the rally, and almost 50 people attended the celebrations.
