Steady rise of COVID-19 cases in Alappuzha
The Hindu
District logged 264 cases on Monday
In view of rising cases of COVID-19, the Alappuzha district administration and the Health Department have tightened surveillance and awareness in the district.
The daily COVID-19 caseload was hovering around 100 for the past couple of months. But the district started witnessing a steady rise in cases since last week. Between January 1 and 10, as many as 1,889 people contracted the infection. Alappuzha's daily tally crossed 200-mark for the first time in months on January 5 when it reported 232 cases.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
