A tiny Indian state turned back thousands of weekend tourists in a health crackdown amid worries the unruly scramble for the Himalayan foothills could hasten a third surge of the coronavirus pandemic.
The police turned away 4,000 cars heading for Nainital and Mussoorie mountain retreats following purported videos of crowds at a waterfall surfaced on social media.
State Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami limited the number of hotel guests and set in place sweeping health rules in Uttarakhand, which also include Hinduism s holiest pilgrimage sites. The rules are laid down to ensure that Covid-19 safety norms are not violated, Nainital police superintendent Preeti Priyadarshini was quoted as saying.
