The Himachal Pradesh government eased the lockdown curbs recently after the decline in Covid-19 cases in the state. The government`s unlock process lead to overcrowding of tourists in Manali and massive violations of Covid-19 SOPs in the popular tourist destination.

The Kullu administration has tightened the restrictions in Manali by imposing a fine of Rs 5000 on those who do not wear masks. If the fine is not paid, then one can be sent to 8 days in jail.

Earlier, pictures of the huge crowd present at Menali went viral on social media. Memes were also being shared on these weekend pictures from Manali.

Apart from Manali, other popular Himalayan towns like Mussoorie, Nainital, Shimla and Mcleodganj are flocked by tourists.
