Massive Traffic, challans as Himachal eases Travel restrictions

Netizens react to the viral video of tourists going to Shimla as Himachal Pradesh eases Covid restrictions, check out the memes below:

We are now again in the state of unlocking and people are moving out now. Recently, the Himachal Pradesh government eased COvid-19 restrictions, and just after that tourists flocked to Shimla. Reports state that 5000 vehicles entered Shimla in the past 2 days. A heavy rush of tourists was witnessed on the Ridge and The Mall Road in Shimla. The police also charged challans on a few violators. 

This sudden surge in tourists was seen days after the government made the negative RT-PCR test result no longer mandatory to enter Himachal Pradesh as Covid cases came down. Though,  the state still requires a Covid e-pass for travel.

Within a few hours of the opening of the borders, long serpentine queues of vehicles were spotted at the entry points. As cops stopped the vehicles to examine the e-pass of travelers from other states, the traffic jam worsened. 

Here is the video:
