Daily TPR in Kozhikode district falls to 9.84%
The Kozhikode district administration has proposed to increase more vaccination centres to reduce the rush and boost the immunization against COVID-19 even as the daily test positivity rate fell below 10% on Thursday, for the second time in recent days. According to sources, District Collector S. Sambasiva Rao directed local bodies to add at least one additional centre in their jurisdiction. Community halls or town halls could be used for the purpose. Spot registration would be allowed in areas with low Internet access and places where fishers and people belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are staying. Services of doctors in mobile medical units could be utilised here. Mr. Rao said that the relaxations in lockdown on Friday would not be applicable to places where the daily test positivity rate for COVID-19 continues to be high. Banks in such places could function between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Only 50% staff would be allowed to work and only five persons can be inside the office at a time.

It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
