Ban on celebrations on counting day will be enforced
The capital district is set to come under a tight security blanket with just a day left for the counting of votes for the Assembly polls.
With Thiruvananthapuram witnessing stiff electoral battles in many constituencies, the police are striving to ensure peace. The worrying situation has necessitated strict adherence to pandemic norms.
The City police will deploy 1,400 personnel across the capital with 500 of them posted at the five counting stations alone. While a bulk will be stationed at the Mar Ivanios Vidya Nagar where the counting of votes in 10 constituencies will take place, others will be positioned at the other four counting centres at St. Mary’s School, Pattom; Government GHSS, Cotton Hill; Loyola School, Sreekaryam; and Government Girls HSS, Manacaud.
48-hour lockdown-like curbs conclude
Over 13,000 COVID-19 violations were detected in the capital district during the course of the 48-hour-long weekend curbs that concluded on Sunday.
While the public largely cooperated with the government’s call to minimise travel and venture outdoors only for essential services, several violations of the pandemic norms were also flagged in various parts of the district.
Considerable public movement was seen on Saturday when Plus two students, accompanied by their parents, attended the Higher Secondary examinations in their schools. However, the situation was much different on Sunday with most staying indoors for most part of the day.
