The Nilgiris: The 172-year-old Government Botanical Garden in Ooty, The Nilgiris is closed for the second time in history due to the threat of the covid-19 second wave. This is considered a historic milestone because the garden was not closed even during World War II has now closed its door for visitors and tourists.
The Nilgiris is visited by over 30 lakh tourists every year, most of whom have never been to the Botanical Gardens. The park attracts an average of 15,000 tourists a day and at least 9 lakh tourists during the 60-day season from April to May and early June. Hence there are thousands of vendors here who depend on the footfall.
Lakhs of tourists from all over the country visit this park every year in May to see the flower show that takes place in the park.
The Ooty Botanical Garden which has so many attractions was not closed even during the Second World War, which lasted from September 1, 1938, to September 2, 1945. The appeal to close the park was rejected by the then English government.
The Botanical Garden, which did not close during World War II, closed for the first time in March last year after 172 years due to covid-19 fears. It was closed for the second time today due to the threat of the second wave in the state.
Similarly, the major tourist attractions in the Nilgiris district such as the boathouse, Thottabetta Mountain Peak, the Sixth Mile, Rose Park, the Dolphin Nose and the Lamb rock viewpoints are closed which is why thousands of people who depend on the tourism industry, including tour guides, tour guides and cottage owners are suffering from loss.

The livelihoods of vendors and small businesses who make a living for four months with the first season of April, May and the second season of August and September are now in question.
