Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Monday that the state government is committed to facilitate smooth and magnificent celebration of Thrissur Pooram, a festival that reflects Kerala’s rich cultural heritage.
Responding to a query in the Assembly, Vijayan said that his government has taken every measure to avoid any kind of uncertainty in the conduct of the annual festival.
All departments have been directed to initiate adequate measures for the smooth conduct of Pooram.
“Steps are being taken by the District Police Chief to formulate an action plan on time involving other departments,” he added.
For the first time in the history of Thrissur Pooram, last year the highly anticipated fireworks display was postponed from the early hours to the following day and conducted in broad daylight, which disappointed many festival enthusiasts.
