Despite strict regulations in view of Omicron threat, Kozhikode district witnessed huge turnout at prominent tourist destinations and shopping centres on New Year’s eve.
Visitors crowded the Kozhikode beach and other eco-tourism spots to greet the New Year. Anticipating traffic regulations, people flocked the beach by noon.
The police had blocked entry of vehicles to the beach side by 5 p.m. as part of crowd-control measures. Though several urban link roads were blocked, it was a challenge for the police to regulate visitor turnout. Moreover, haphazard parking chocked several narrow roads causing severe traffic snarl.
