Deputy Commissioner M R Ravi has issued orders permitting the tourists to visit the popular Bharachukki Falls in Kollegal taluk.

The deputy commissioner, who held a meeting with the authorities concerned, directed to provide basic amenities on the spot for the visitors and also follow the Covid-19 safety guidelines like thermal screening.
Based on the report submitted by Assistant Commissioner Nikitha M Chinnaswamy, the deputy commissioner has issued orders allowing tourists to visit the picnic spot.
