Hundreds of people were seen flouting Covid-19 norms as they gathered in large numbers to celebrate the traditional fishing festival at Vilaripatti village in Tamil Nadu's Sivaganga district on Sunday. Every year the Vilaripatti villagers celebrate this festival by catching freshwater fish in a large water body. Villagers from other nearby areas also participate in the event, which was cancelled in 2020 due to the lockdown. The state reported 3,867 fresh cases and 72 deaths on Sunday.
