In view of the surge in Covid-19 cases in Maharashtra and in line with the state government’s guidelines, several curbs have been imposed at hill stations near Mumbai, with the local authorities closing down some of the popular spots, including tiger reserves and national parks.
The Matheran Municipal Council on Tuesday closed several tourist spots at the hill station. The order issued by Matheran Chief Executive Officer Surekha Bhange included the Charlotte Lake, Alexander Point, Rambag point, Big Chowk Point, One tree hill point, Eco point, Louisa point, Coronation point, Sunset point and the Monkey point for tourists. The mini-train from Aman Lodge to Matheran is still operational.
