The lockdown in the last three months had affected the tourism sector and people from all categories have incurred a huge loss, he added.

A few people have been opposing tourism and are creating wrong information for the government. A few have been posting on social media to pose a hindrance to the tourism activities, he said and warned of legal action against those who have been posing a hindrance to tourism activities in the district.

He said a few miscreants are tarnishing the image of the district.

Expected tourists had not visited tourist spots in Kodagu for the last two years following Covid-19. The association has been working towards the welfare of those who have been dependent on tourism for livelihood, he added.
