The Kerala government’s decision to relax coronavirus restrictions in view of Eid-al-Adha, or Bakrid, is “unwarranted and inappropriate”, the Indian Medical Association said on Sunday.

“When many northern states like J&K [Jammu and Kashmir], Uttar Pradesh, and Uttaranchal [Uttarakhand] have stopped, with a constructive sense of public safety, the traditional and popular pilgrimage Yatras, it is unfortunate that learned state of Kerala had taken these retrograde decisions,” the doctor’s body said in a statement.
