K. Karthik, the District Police Chief (Ernakulam Rural) has warned of strict action against New Year revelry if found in violation of the Covid-19 protocol.
The Ernakulam rural police have put in place elaborate arrangements to ensure that the celebrations pass off without any untoward incidents. Nearly 1500 police personnel will be deployed for security from the day before New Year eve.
Using the public announcement system, organising programmes in public spaces without prior permission and bursting firecrackers in public places remain banned. Those found driving under the influence of alcohol will be sternly dealt with. Vehicle checking will also be intensified to detect drunken driving and the licences of those found guilty will be suspended.

Before entering cinema, the artistic life of Malayalam actor Sreenivasan was shaped on the theatre stage, with Thrikkarippur emerging as one of the most vibrant centres of his early journey. It was from this fertile training ground that the artiste—who concealed layers of social thought beneath humour—paved his way into cinema. Thrikkarippur played a decisive role in this formative phase. A committed theatre activist, Sreenivasan formed the drama troupe Ghanashyama and made Thrikkarippur its base of operations.
