Dakshina Kannada to mark Ganesh Utsav with conditions

Mangaluru: The district administration has allowed partial celebration of the upcoming Ganesh Utsav in the state, with Covid-19 norms and conditions in place.
A decision on the simple celebration of Ganeshotsava was taken at the Dakshina Kannada district disaster management authority meeting.
This year too, the celebrations will be toned down and simple.
The administration has stressed that there is no provision to erect pandals and organize the celebrations in public places.
Instead of the usual five days, this time, Ganeshotsava will be limited to three days in the district. The festival can be organized only in temples, community halls and houses in a simple manner.
With the festive season in India coming up, state governments have been attempting a balancing act to maintain Covid-19 protocol while giving relaxations to people to celebrate.
India in April and May saw a devastating second wave of Covid-19, which saw record deaths and cases, with people struggling for medical oxygen and basic healthcare facilities. Now, a third wave of Covid-19 is predicted to hit the country anywhere from mid-September to October, and the Union Health Ministry has also warned states and citizens to not stop practicing essential Covid-19 norms during the festive season.
