  • 3 years ago
Images of tourists thronging Himachal Pradesh have brought condemnation on social media as the country braces for a possible third wave of Coronavirus. Experts have been advising against large crowds ever since the pandemic reached India. The two earlier waves of Covid-19, the first after huge gatherings during last year's festive season in September-October & the second after crowds during Kumbh earlier this year, have made it clear that the disease gets a fresh lease of life every time social distancing norms are violated. This time, amid the ongoing heatwave in North India, a sea of people reached tourist hotspots like Shimla, Kufri, Narkanda, Dalhousie, Manali, Lahaul & other places in the hill state to escape the scorching heat & spend some quality time. The tourism sector in Himachal Pradesh contributes 7 per cent to state GDP, reported NDTV. Many on social media have called out the insensitive behaviour of the people who are putting lives at risk.
