Ganjam: The fear of the second wave of COVID-19 notwithstanding, a man allegedly organised a fest for over 2,000 people defying the guidelines in Odisha’s Ganjam district.
According to sources, the feast was being organised by one P Subhash of Kukudakhandi village and more than 2,000 people were scheduled to attend it.
On being informed, Kukudakhandi tehsildar Dr Ipsita Priyadarshani reached the spot and seized the cooked food.
