Huge traffic on the borders, Hope amid the despair for the Hospitality Industry
The Himachal Pradesh Government has issued new guidelines on Friday. The travelers were the happiest lot as no negative RTPCR report is required now to enter the state. However and E-pass is still required to enter Himachal Pradesh. The government has also lifted Section 144.
Interstate Bus services have not been resumed yet but the Intrastate public transport has been allowed to operate with 50 per cent occupancy. The shops will now be open from 9 am to 5 pm from Monday.
As a result of these relaxations hundreds of vehicles were queued up on the borders and were seen stranded at the inter-state barriers at Parwanoo, where the cops were scrutinizing Covid e-pass of travellers arriving from neighboring states.
The planes are witnessing the rising temperatures with maximum touching more than 40 degrees in Delhi NCR and Punjab. This move by the government to allow tourists has resulted in a huge rush of travellers to Hilly areas of Himachal Pradesh.
