That’s why #Manali is trending!
The insane flood of tourists in #Manali.
Pehle oxygen nahi mil rahi thi,
Ab kehte Manali me hotel nahi mil rahe.
As #Manali trends, hotels running out of beds. Do we soon want to hear "Hospital running out of beds" again? Haven't we learned any lesson? #COVID19 #3rdWave pic.twitter.com/vMXVgwX6zn

In search of fun and rest, people are eager to "Rest in Peace!
Manali crowd 2 days ago.
Are we inviting 3rd wave?
Then Why to blame the government. Are we not the most Irresponsible citizens in the world?
Moreover, up to 40%of people having reservations about the safety and efficacy of the available Covid-19 vaccine is another matter of grave concern!!
News Verification: Recently there covid restrictions were eased in the hilly areas of Kullu, Manali and other areas. The picture that has been widely shared on social media platforms is not from recent Covid times.
Users shared these images on social media. The picture is not recent nor it is too old even. These pictures are from Dec 2020.
The pictures from #Manali which are trending are FAKE. Those are old pics.
