A public interest litigation (PIL) petition has been filed in the Madras High Court seeking a direction to the Tamil Nadu government to close bars, cinema theatres, beaches, amusement parks, zoos, parks, museums, playgrounds, gymnasiums, recreation clubs, shopping malls and places of worship immediately in view of a significant surge in COVID-19 cases being reported across the State. Advocate B. Ramkumar Adityan of Thoothukudi had filed the case. He insisted that there be an embargo even on the conduct of political meetings, special classes for school and college students, sports events, fashion shows, cinema and television show shootings, seminars, entertainment programmes and other public gatherings to prevent acceleration of what appeared to be a second wave of the pandemic.A crowd comprising farmers, researchers, professors, students, and horticulture enthusiasts thronged the ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), Hesaraghatta, Bengaluru, on Friday for the inaugural ceremony of the Triphal Diversity Show which showcased 300 mango, 100 jackfruit, and 100 banana genotypes in collaboration with ICAR-National Research Centre for Banana, Tiruchirappalli.
