VARANASI: In an effort to check the rising number of Covid-19 cases, the district administration has made carrying negative RT-PCR test report of past 72 hours mandatory for entry into Kashi Vishwanath, Annapurna and Sankat Mochan temples as well as for availing accommodation in hotels in Varanasi from Wednesday.
VARANASI: In an effort to check the rising number of Covid-19 cases, the district administration has made carrying negative RT-PCR test report of past 72 hours mandatory for entry into Kashi Vishwanath, Annapurna and Sankat Mochan temples as well as for availing accommodation in hotels in Varanasi from Wednesday.
The district administration has also advised pilgrims and tourists from across the country to avoid visiting the holy city for pilgrimage in view of the booming figures of new Covid-19 positive cases.
Amidst challenges of arranging beds in level-3 and L-2 facilities for the critical Covid positive patients, divisional commissioner Deepak Agrawal and district magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma took the decision to issue the advisory so as to discourage people from gathering at prime shrines, religious and tourist sites. Agrawal said, “Now, producing RT-PCR repot with negative remark has been made mandatory for people thronging prominent temples, including KVT, Annapurna and Sankat Mochan. Similar provision has been mandated for hotels for accommodating guests. The step has been taken in view of the continuous influx of pilgrims from southern, western and eastern states.”
Sharma said, ”We are also appealing to the pilgrims to avoid visiting Kashi in view of the fresh wave of Covid-19 pandemic. People from other cities are also being advised to visit the city only in case of urgency only. The district administration has already imposed a ban on visiting ghats along river Ganga between 4 pm and 6 am apart from clamping night curfew.”
Varanasi has been hit hard in the fresh Covid-19 wave, especially in the past 10 days, as over 1,000 cases are being recorded daily while the number of active cases is also nearing the 10,000-mark.
