A slew of measures have been announced to control the crowd and restrict traffic movement in the city. "As evening falls, the markets appear deserted. The scare is already there and people are avoiding unnecessary movements," said Vijay Nagar Colony senior resident Sudhir Gupta. The vaccination exercise has picked up some momentum, as a result. The tourism industry is under strain. The night curfew has affected the flow of tourists to the city. During the last lockdown the Taj Mahal remained closed for 188 days. "This along with suspension of the international flights dented the tourism industry which was trying hard to limp back but the latest surge in Covid-19 cases has again come as a damper and the situation remains uncertain. The lean season for the tourism industry has already begun," said Rakesh Chauhan, president of the Agra Hotels and Restaurants Association. Local shoe industry, the petha production, the hundreds of handicrafts shops, the marble inlay workshops are facing an existential crisis. The wedding season has started on a dismal note. With restrictions on guests in place, thus putting the caterers under acute distress. /IANS
