Normalcy is slowly returning to Kozhikode after the lull seen in the past week following the restrictions imposed on the district in the wake of the third Nipah episode here.
People are now seen thronging commercial hotspots such as S.M. Street in Kozhikode city for shopping. Kozhikode beach, a major hangout space for city residents and many from nearby districts, is seeing a rush of visitors again. Pushcart vendors selling street food, who kept away from there in recent days, are coming back to resume business.
Areas such as Palayam and Valiyangadi have also come back to life after a break. Many are wearing face masks as a precautionary step. Some shops have even displayed notices saying the customers are requested to wear them.
