In COVID-19 hotspot Kalaburagi, over 200 people violate lockdown, celebrate Jatra Mahotsava
Kalaburagi: In what has come as serious allegations from Kalaburagi District, one of the 170 COVID-19 hotspot Districts across the country, a Jatra Mahotsava was held in the District totally violating the regulations and norms of country-wide lockdown and social distancing.
The country's first COVID-19 casualty was also from Kalaburagi District and the number of infected persons has been on constant rise in the District.
According to the reports more than two hundred people gathered at the Jatra violating lockdown at Ravur village of Chittapur Taluk.
The annual festival of Lord Siddalingeshwara was held at Ravur village at 6 am on Thursday.
As Section 144 is in force in the district, the District Administration has banned all types of Jatra Mahotsava, Urus, and other public functions. But the Taluka level authorities have completely failed in preventing this Jatra Mahotsava, locals alleged.
