‘Progress in vaccination coverage to hasten opening’
Culture Minister Saji Cherian has said that cinema theatres were likely to be opened soon in the State.
Speaking to media persons here on Tuesday, he said the government that has withdrawn several COVID-19-induced curbs lately will soon take a call on resuming activities in closed spaces such as cinemas and auditoriums. The marked progress in vaccination coverage is bound to hasten their reopening, he said.

About 923 families of Nagarathar community arrived from across the globe at Nattarasankottai in Sivaganga district to celebrate the traditional ‘Sevvai Pongal’ festival. This annual event serves as a massive international reunion for the Nagarathar community people. Local residents said while many might miss major holidays like Pongal or Deepavali, they made every effort to attend Sevvai Pongal, which was held on the first Tuesday following Pongal. This tradition had been upheld by the community for over two centuries.
