The coastal belt of Thrissur is bearing the brunt of the rough sea in the wake of low pressure formed over the Arabian Sea. Relief camps have been opened at Eriyad, Edavilangu and Sreenarayanapuram panchayats in Kodungallur taluk. There are 83 people in the camps. It has been reported that people are reluctant to shift to the camps fearing the spread of COVID-19. Many prefer to move to their relatives’ places. But authorities have started conducting antigen tests for people being shifted to the camps. Those who test positive are being shifted to first-line treatment centres.The restoration and redevelopment of the decades-old Calve College Government school, a landmark that occupies a prominent place in the city’s history is nearing completion. The Puducherry Smart City Development Limited (PSCDL), which has taken up the restoration, has planned to complete the work by the first week of July. The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) is the architectural consultant for PSCDL, while Puducherry Technological University (PTU) is the structural consultant. The work commenced in August 2021 and costs ₹4.75 crore.
