Jaisalmer

: The tourist hub of the state wore a deserted look during Sunday’s curfew as most of the tourists had to remain indoors at their hotels due to the curfew restrictions. However, a large number of tourists went to Tanot mateshwari temple at the

Indo-Pak

border as darshan was allowed as per the government guidelines. There were fewer tourists at Sonar fort, Patwa Haveli and Gadisar lake. The war museum at Jaisalmer military station and the battle field of

Longewala

has been closed till further orders by the army as a preventive measure. The main reason for closing these tourist spots is increased corona infection in defence premises. District collector Ashish Modi inspected

Jawahar

hospital and checked the medical arrangements and the facilities given to patients and to their attendants. All shops except medical, groceries and milk remained closed.
