Unlock 5 Hyderabad Tourist Sites Sport Facilities Reopen 

After pubs and parks, the state government has now decided to unlock Hyderabad’s tourism sites, playgrounds, sports facilities and swimming pools from October 1. As part of unlock 5.0 it’s given the go ahead for all tourist attractions — including historic sites, forts, museums and stadiums under the department of tourism and archaeology — to be thrown open to the public. Even a boat ride on the iconic Hussainsagar Lake is now off the barred list.

The Golconda Fort, which falls under the Archaeological Survey of India, was opened earlier this month.

Speaking about it, on Thursday, V Srinivas Goud, minister of state for excise, sports, tourism and culture said that boating services at Mir Alam Tank and Durgam Cheruvu would also resume from Thursday. Along with the lakes and archaeological spots, even private sports centres including swimming pools, have been allowed to start operations. “People should be cautious and abide by all Covid-19 regulations,” said Goud while urging citizens to follow social distancing while visiting these facilities.

In light of Covid regulations, temperature of tourists will be checked through the thermo scanners at tourist centers. Tourism staff must wear face masks as well as hand gloves. Goud suggested that visitors maintain a physical distance of six feet while also directing authorities to allow digital payments, online ticket booking and online payments at tourist destinations to encourage tourists TOI
