Puri: As part of the precautionary measures in the wake of resurgence in COVID -19 cases, Puri district administration directed all hoteliers to tighten restrictions for visitors coming from five most-infected states.

At a meeting, the district Collector asked the hotel association to impose restrictions on tourists visiting the pilgrim town from states like Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Punjab and Maharashtra.
