Tourists should follow Covid-appropriate behaviour: CM

The sudden spurt in the tourist influx in Himachal Pradesh after the government relaxed travel restrictions has raised concern. Chief minister Jai Ram Thakur said, “Corona has not ended, we all should understand this. There is heavy tourist influx in Manali, Shimla and Dharamshala. We have directed the district administrations to ensure that crowds and traffic are controlled. Tourist are welcome to the state, but they should not indulge in hooliganism and follow covid-appropriate behaviour.”

A health department spokesperson also emphasised on the need to follow Covid protocol to prevent a third wave.
