Forlorn look at Marina spot where New Year celebrants used to have some fun

What a forlorn look the Marina junction off the Gandhi statue wore at midnight on the last day of 2021.

For, police had barricaded all approach roads and told people who had parked their cars here after 10 p.m. to pack up.

So the annual celebrations to usher in the new year had to be given up – due to pandemic time regulations.

The P Orr & Sons clock tower was illuminated for the occasion.
