All public events postponed in district

All public events that were earlier scheduled to be organised between May 24 and May 31 have been postponed in the district in the wake of Nipah outbreak. Officials said examinations declared by the Public Service Commission and Calicut University too had been postponed.

As part of the restrictions, no public meetings and processions will be allowed in the district till May 31. The restrictions imposed by District Collector U.V. Jose will be applicable for special training classes and tuition for students.
