In an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, the district administration has put restrictions in tourist places and will levy fines on those not following the COVID-19 protocols across The Nilgiris. Tourists to the district’s popular locales will not be allowed to spend long periods of time there, and will be asked to stick to a fixed route while visiting popular parks and gardens, including the Sims Park and Government Botanical Garden. The parks will only allow a restricted number of tourists at any particular time.More Related News
