There is a tourism business of 1200 crores in the state from the six-month travel season. It also includes Kanwar business of about two hundred crores. Millions of Shiva devotees come to the pilgrimage town of Haridwar and Rishikesh to take holy Ganga water and take water to the pagoda of their respective areas by taking Ganga water. Even after the opening of the kapat, the Chardham Yatra has not started in its form.

Due to the postponement of the Chardham Yatra and now the Kanwar Yatra, businessmen of Dharmanagri remained hopeless.

After the loss during the lockdown, traders were expected to start the Kanwar Yatra and do some business, but now the people are disappointed with the decision of the government. According to an estimate, the turnover of about 1500 crore rupees is certain. As the summer season started, travelers in Dharmanagri started to thicken. Every weekend millions of people used to visit Haridwar and Rishikesh. When the Chardham Yatra started, there was no place to set foot in Dharmanagri. When the rainy season started, the Chardham Yatra would light up, then the preparations for Kanwar would start. By the last week of June, Kumbhanagri started buzzing with the Kanwaris. This time Corona smashed everything. The Janta curfew took place on 22 March and lockdown from 23 March as soon as the summer season started. The lockdown destroyed every type of trade in Haridwar.
