Boating resumes in Nainital

Boating has resumed in the tourist town of Nainital after a halt of more than five months. Even though boating has started in Nainital amidst increasing cases of Corona infection, many boatsmen are not following the guide line of Covid-19.

As per the rules, the boaters are required to sanitize the boats as well as wear masks, but during these two days many boatsmen were seen ferrying the tourists without putting on masks, face shields and gloves.

EO of the municipality Ashok Kumar Verma said that the boatmen have been instructed to follow the guide line of Covid 19. If anyone is found violating it then action will be taken.
