Himachal Pradesh CM planning to turn state in quarantine destination for tourists

If all goes well, Himachal Pradesh might become a quarantine destination for Indian citizens just to encourage tourism in the state. The statement was reportedly given by state CM Jai Ram Thakur in a television interview.
The minister told the news channel that when the number of cases of COVID-19 infection reduces in Himachal Pradesh, and people from other parts of India are told to go under quarantine for two weeks or so, they can be welcomed in the state to spend their quarantine period.
Since, tourism is a major source of revenue in the state, the government is planning to improve the circumstances. On the other hand, Shimla Hotel and Restaurant Association (SHRA) president, Sanjay Sood is not in favour of the CM’s plan. As per the news reports, Sood said that if Himachal turns into a quarantine centre for tourists, it may affect the arrival of regular tourists to the state.
Cases of COVID-19 infections have been reported in Kangra, Solan, Mandi, Shimla and Una districts of the state.Reportedly, the Himachal Pradesh Cabinet has allowed non-AC buses to run from June 1 but at sixty percent capacity. However, the night-time bus services will stay suspended for now. In addition, hair salons will be permitted to reopen and more such relaxations have been given.
