KOCHI: Once popular landmarks of Kochi, the twin theatres, Lulu-Mymoon, are now history. The buildings on Chittoor Road have been razed, and a state-of-the-art cinema complex is likely to come up.

Entire Chittoor town and surrounding villages are gearing up for the famous Ganga Jatara, scheduled to commence from May 14. The ‘chatimpu’ (traditional announcement) was made on Tuesday.

When Madhvi Chittoor of Arvada, Colo., learned at the age of 6 that PFAS “forever chemicals” are found in all sorts of consumer products, she wanted to warn everyone.
