The church authorities here have urged the believers to celebrate the festival in a simple manner and avoid crowding.
“They are also advised to wear facemasks and maintain social distancing while celebrating the festival. The pastors are advised to adhere to the health protocols and ensure safe celebration,” Ruksin area Christian Forum secretary John Panyang said.
