Haridwar logs tourist influx of nearly 1.2 million, highest after Mahakumbh

Haridwar witnessed the maximum tourist influx of 1.2 million on Friday on the occasion of Kartik Poornima and Guru Purab, with pilgrims thronging ghats since early morning to take a dip in the holy Ganga.

Amid fears of a possible third wave of Covid-19 infections, the pilgrims could be seen flouting Covid-19 protocol without masks and with little regard for social distancing norms.
