Places to avoid Travel after lockdown.

Why avoid Travel after lockdown 

As the number of Covid-19 cases is dipping down, states have started easing the covid restrictions following the tourist have started flocking to nearby hill stations. During the corona period everyone was in a stressful environment and to combat it people have started traveling. Due to the relaxation in the lockdown policies by the government people from various States have started traveling to hill stations in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh.


If you don't want to get stuck in long traffic jams and crowded places then the places to be avoided in Uttarakhand, are Nainital, Mussoorie, Dehradun, Rishikesh, and Haridwar. 
In Himanchal avoid going to Manali, Shimla, Kullu, Dalhousie, and Dharamshala. Overcrowding can result in the revival of covid 19 cases. If there is a slight possibility that any of the tourists are the carriers of Delta, then there is no wait to witness the next catastrophe of Covid-19 (wave-3)


With tourism there comes major issues like traffic jams and pollution. These small hill stations are under severe stress. As per one of the reports lockdown helped Himachal avoided 3000 tonnes of tourist trash last year making Himanchal Pradesh a much cleaner paradise but now pictures of tourists littering the hills have started floating on social media. 

Looking at the population of our country a government should have created phases of unlocking. Looking at the high numbers of tourists the Uttarakhand high court has expressed concerns over massive crowds entering hill stations of Nainital and Mussoorie and bringing the “dreaded” Delta plus variant along with them and asked the state to review its decision to ease lockdown restrictions during the weekend. As per the reports, at least 25000 people had visited Nainital within a week and barely a fraction of the tourists was wearing masks or following social distancing norms. Many tourists were entering without RT-PCR test reports and in several instances, the reports were found to be fake.


So who do you think will be responsible if the third wave of covid hits India. Is it the government, the people, or both?
