The government while announcing the restrictions said the number of cases in the State have increased in some districts “due to functions, events, meetings and non-compliance of COVID-19 protocols such as wearing masks by the public and non-implementation of the protocols in many offices and organisations”.For the first time in a Lok Sabha election, the AIADMK forfeited deposits in seven constituencies.

Cardiologist and MP-elect from Bengaluru Rural C.N. Manjunath, who contested from the BJP and defeated three-time Congress MP D.K.
