The restriction has added woes to cab operators, hotels, and restaurants, already affected by lockdown
The weekend closure of places of worship has hit the hospitality industry hard in Tiruchi.
In order to check the spread of COVID-19 during Aadi, a Tamil month that usually attracts hundreds of devotees, mainly women, to Amman and Murugan temples, the State government had initially announced the closure of important temples for a few days in August. It was expected that the restriction would be in place only during the month of Aadi. But the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR and CE) Department subsequently announced that devotees would not be allowed in major temples for three days a week from Friday to Sunday until further orders. Churches and mosques also follow the restriction.
