Tourists and people from Kerala and Karnataka need e-pass to enter the Nilgiris district 'District Collector J. Innocent Divya 'said.

The district collector has issued the order as the Tamil Nadu government has given permission to open tourist sites in the state.

Collector Innocent Divya made the remarks while inaugurating the Government Maternity Hospital in the Nilgiris.

As the corona epidemic in Tamil Nadu continues to decline, the general ban has been extended to July 12 with new relaxations. In it, it is noteworthy that the e-pass / e-registration procedure for traveling between districts has been canceled and permission has been granted to open tourist sites.

The Nilgiris district is one of the important tourist destinations in the country. Many tourists from various districts of Tamil Nadu as well as foreign states visit this place.

The first tourist sites were closed on April 20 due to the second wave of corona. The disruption of tourist arrivals has also affected the livelihoods of traders who depend on the tourism industry. In this case, the general ban has been extended with some additional restrictions.

Accordingly, the Government of Tamil Nadu has given permission to open the Udagai Government Botanical Garden, Government Rose Garden, Arboretum Garden, Gunno Sims Garden and Vampire Garden owned by the Horticulture Department in the Nilgiris.

Accordingly, after 45 days, these tourist sites will be open from Monday and a large number of tourists have started booking rooms in hostels. As a precautionary measure, clean-up operations are being carried out on hostels and cottages, which have not been opened for a long time, as a precautionary measure to facilitate tourists to come and stay.

In addition, due to the lack of e-pass, e-registration systems and the introduction of public transport, many traders who rely on the tourism industry are eagerly awaiting the arrival of tourists.

Meanwhile, the Tourism Development Corporation is in the process of deciding whether to allow the opening of areas such as the Udaga Boat House and the Bikara Boat House, which are under the control of the Department of Tourism, just as the Department of Horticulture has given permission to open parks.
