A deliberate meeting was held on 05 August night regarding this issue. However, the beaches and tourist spots in the rest of the district will remain closed. It is to be mentioned that the hotel-motels and tourist spots were closed on March 18 as per the decision of a committee formed following the coronavirus pandemic.

Local administration will monitor whether the guidelines are followed or not, the DC said, adding that action will be taken if anyone violates the instructions.
