Antoney Kariyil, Metroplitan Vicar of the Major Archdiocese of Ernakulam Angamaly of the Syrian Catholic Church, has issued a circular exempting the archdiocese from following a decision by the synod of bishops to a introduce unified Mass system from Sunday.
The circular implies that the archdiocese can continue with the fully congregation facing Mass as of now instead of the synodal decision to have the celebrant facing the congregation during the first half of the Mass and facing away from the congregation for rest of the ceremony.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
