Why Were The New Rules Needed?
Mussoorie, which is one of the most visited hill stations in India, has been facing excessive tourist crowds in recent years. The NGT has directed that the number of visitors should be controlled according to the capacity of the area. Due to the crowd, traffic jams have become common on major roads like Gandhi Chowk to Mall Road, putting additional burden on local facilities.
For these reasons, the administration has introduced a digital registration system similar to the Chardham Yatra, so that the arrival of tourists can be monitored and managed better.
