“Salutations from Mount Abu”

As it is my initial post of the year 2022, I cherish all my readers an outstanding year 

“Happy New Year To All of you!” Stay blessed and remain safe this winter. May you all escape the COVID-19 infection?

Mount Abu was under a weekend curfew yesterday, enforced by the authorities

There were several visitors who weren’t aware that Mount Abu was under a curfew yesterday. The curfew restricted all movement for them, which they found extremely unpleasant. The town was absolutely closed except for essential goods, medical care, vegetable shops, milk booths and the petrol pump.

Police and the administration team were out cruising the streets to ensure the curfew remained in place. They imposed fines on those caught without their masks. Law enforcement fined visitors and residents who roamed around without a legitimate reason. Police gave visitors who didn’t know about the curfew a warning and summoned them to remain in their various hotels. 

Different residents in Abu reacted differently to the curfew imposed on their city. It pleased some that the authorities imposed a curfew in place as they aspired to curb the enormous crowds touring this hill station on weekends. However, some residents were vexed that their livelihoods depended on tourists, and were being targeted by the authorities to disrupt their lives. 

Please note that if you are planning a pleasant trip to Abu, it is best to avoid the weekend. Be conscious that there is a curfew each night from 8 pm to 6 am. The curfew is in place to restrain the virus from being extremely active during these hours or for the animals to prowl freely in the sanctuary without human conflict.
