The Sawan month celebrations will be low-key affairs due to the Covid-19 pandemic in the state this year. Only few devotees will be allowed to perform pooj-archana at the temples this year. This year though the temples are opened but the administration will be maintaining a strict vigil so that the people do not gather in temples in large numbers. There will be prohibitions and restriction during the entire period as there is a fear of third wave of Corona looming large and any negligence could lead to a disaster, stated a Government official.
