An equestrian race was conducted at Thathamangalam near here on April 24 morning in blatant violation of the COVID-19 restrictions. Hundreds of people gathered to witness the biennial event, throwing caution to the winds. Police stopped the race, and slapped cases against 100-odd people, including the organisers. Police said the organisers had assured the authorities that the event would only be a symbolic one. Police said 54 horses took part in the race held as part of the Angadivela, an integral part of the Vettai Karuppasamy Temple festival at Thathamangalam — a village in the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border.More Related News
