The district administration has announced that devotees would not be allowed to have darshan during the three main rituals of the 10-day Kanda Sashti festival to be held from November 4 at Sri Navaneetheswarar Swamy Temple, also known as Sikkal Singarvelar Temple, at Sikkal in the district, apparently to check the spread of COVID 19.
Devotees would not be allowed to participate in ‘Sakthivel Vangum’ and ‘Viyarvai Sinthum Katchi’ scheduled to be held on November 8, the ‘soorasamharam’ the next day and the ‘thirukalyanam’ on November 10, Collector A. Arun Thamburaj said in a press release.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
