Tourists likely to rise in Jaipur as buses set to arrive from Haldwani & Kotdwar, Uttarakhand
October 06, 2020
Residents of Haldwani and Kotdwar in Uttarakhand can now seamlessly travel to The Pink City as the roadway management authorities have decided to start bus facilities on this route. In-charge of Kathgodam Depot, DN Joshi, has mentioned that the first bus will leave for Jaipur at 5 in the evening and the second at 7.30 PM, on Tuesday from the Haldwani bus stand. The Uttarakhand Transport Corporation is also setting up direct bus services from Kotdwar to Jaipur and Rishikesh, from the 6th of October onwards.
<h2>Expected rise in Tourism</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

</p><p>The bus en route to Jaipur will not go to ISBT in Delhi but will go via Kalekhao and Dhaulakunya. Uttarakhand Transport Corporation has given a direct bus service from Kotdwar, for the passengers meaning to take up a journey from Garhwal. Likewise, travellers will reap some relief as there are now straight buses from Kotdwar to Rishikesh as well. The Assistant General Manager of Roadways, Tikaram Aditya, has stated that the direct bus service from the corporation headquarters to Jaipur has been cleared. <br></p><p>The services are starting from Tuesday and the bus to Jaipur will leave from Kotdwar bus base at 10:30 PM via Delhi. The bus will return from Jaipur to Kotdwar at 1:35 AM the next day. The AGM further informed that there will be a bus from Kotdwar to Rishikesh at 8:00 AM, which will return from Rishikesh to Kotdwar, at 12:30 PM the same day. This will establish a direct transportation link between these two districts and probably, the places will witness a surge in tourism once again. Also, without masks, nobody will be allowed to board the buses.</p><p><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1928181993792414" data-ad-slot="7448307427" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>

Back in September, the Health Minister of Rajasthan had ordered in-service private hospitals in Jaipur and 5 other districts- Jodhpur, Kota, Udaipur, Ajmer and Bikaner, to reserve 30% of their beds for patients affected with COVID-19. This move was issued so that COVID-19 patients can be treated effectively, without any external struggles. Now, the count of beds in Jaipur's Intensive Care Units (ICU) for covid treatment, has climbed up in the last 2 weeks.
<h2>23,179 confirmed cases in Jaipur till today</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

</p><p>At present, Jaipur's corona death tally is at 325. So in an effort to arrest this rate and to limit it from promulgating further, orders had been issued by the authorities to increase the number of ICUs and ventilator facilities in the city. Oxygen beds have been increased as well along with other services, as medical professionals have found that high-flow oxygen therapy is useful for covid patients. This order is applicable for both- government and private hospitals.</p><p>The Health Minister had previously mentioned that all such private hospitals following the COVID-19 protocols as issued by the authorities, will have to treat corona patients in a separate ward within the hospital premises.
