As soon as the Himachal Pradesh government announced that COVID-19 RT-PCR negative tests are no longer required to enter the state, hundreds of cars were seen on the road leading to the state. This caused massive congestion on the road.

Around 5,000 vehicles entered the capital city Shimla through the Shoghi barrier in the last 30 hours. Although the borders have been opened for tourists from other states, a Covid e-pass is still required to get an entry.

As Himachal Pradesh has now allowed entry without RT-PCR test report, this is hw the decision was welcomed…. pic.twitter.com/JVotyxSIlF
