Rallies were taken out to observe Milad-e-Sharif in Kozhikode district on Sunday.

The processions were organised by various madrasas and masjid committees in a grand manner after a two-year gap induced by the pandemic. Children performing ‘duff muttu’ was an essential part of all the rallies and they visited homes as well. Sweets were distributed to mark the occasion.

One of the highlights of this year’s processions were children carrying placards and balloons against substance abuse. Minister for Ports Ahammad Devarkovil administered a pledge against drugs at an event organised by the Sunni Samyukta Samiti.
