–> The government said festivals should be celebrated with restraint given the Covid situtation.
New Delhi:
India is still not out of the woods when it comes to the second wave of COVID-19 and people should celebrate festivals like Diwali, Eid and Ganesh Chaturthi at home without gathering in large numbers, the Health Ministry said on Thursday.
“Festivals are like Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali and Eid coming. This year too, like the last year, they will need to be celebrated in a restrictive manner, and it is our appeal to all to stay at home,” Dr VK Paul, member of the government’s think tank NITI Aayog and chief of the COVID-19 task force on COVID-19 said.

Joe Douglas is facing a huge and difficult decision on what to do with the No. 2 pick in the 2021 draft.
If Quinnen Williams was the Jets’ general manager, it might not be so difficult: draft Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith.
“I’m wishin’!” the Jets defensive lineman recently told TMZ Sports. “I’m saying it right now, I’m wishin’!”
Williams, a fellow Alabama product, may be a tad biased, but Smithhas certainly put himself in the conversation near the top of the 2021 NFL Draft.
