As the Covid restrictions were eased, tourists from Uttarakhand flocked to hotspots such as Mussoorie and Nainital. As a result, hotels were full and roads were filled with long queues of vehicles.
The clip has attracted angry reactions from online viewers.
One user commented, “Empty brains in Kempty” while another wrote, “They all collectively share only one braincell.”
Besides Mussoorie, tourists have flocked to Rishikesh, Manali, Shimla, Dalhousie, and Dharamshala to beat the heat.
The Ministry of Health expressed seeing the carefree attitude of the masses. Joint secretary in the health ministry Lav Agarwal said, “People are indulging in revenge travel with restrictions being lifted. They need to understand that the virus and the disease are still here. People roaming in hill stations and markets without maintaining physical distance and not wearing masks can nullify the gains made in the management of the pandemic so far.”
