After being nearly reduced to penury because of the pandemic prompted lockdown that crippled tourism region, the stakeholders in Kodaikanal are subsequently seeing a ray of desire after the State government decided to partly ease regulations. With the Tamil Nadu authorities easing the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions and eliminating e-registration and e-pass for intra- and inter-district travel, travelers have started trickling into famous hill stations. Bryant Park, one of the important attractions in Kodaikanal, changed into reopened after 75 days. Visitors had been screened before access. However, in Yercaud and the Nilgiris, all parks and points of interest remained closed because the administration waited for unique orders, officials said. According to officials of the Horticulture Department, six parks and eco-tourism web sites below the Forest Department in Yercaud remained closed because of lack of government pointers.
