The annual processions for Sarhul and Ram Navami will not be brought out in Jharkhand for the second consecutive year this time because of rising cases of Covid-19 infection.
While the organisers of such processions in Jharkhand capital Ranchi have assured they would follow the guidelines issued by the state government and not bring out any such procession this year, those in other places in the state are also likely to follow it soon.
Both Sarhul and Ram Navami processions were also not brought out last year because of the lockdown while the Jharkhand government has prohibited religious congregations this time.
