Rishikesh: The closure of Laxman swing has left a favourite place in Rishikesh for tourists from all over the country and abroad. On July 15, the administration has completely closed the suspension bridge. At this time only locals and school students are allowed to pass through the bridge. The closure of Laxman swing has badly affected the Tapovan Bazar of Tehri Garhwal and Laxman swing of Pauri Garhwal. The irony is that it has become very difficult for small businessmen to settle down.

Laxman swing used to be very exciting these days. Even after the Kavad Yatra peaks, the current situation has seen a lull in the market. Along with the Kavad Yatris, tourists also visited the place in large numbers. Laxman was also a swinging initiative from foreign tourists. The administration has not only imposed restrictions on the Jhoola bridge but also blocked the vehicles of the Kavadis from barrage towards Garudachatti bridge. As a result, the vehicles of the Kavadis are passing through the National Highway.

For the past 40 years, When questioned about the business, Poonam Verma, who had been on the Lakshman Jhoola bridge, was weeping. Poonam has been living here with her husband for the last 40 years. The girls were responsible for the Rs 1.5 lakh loan and filled the shop with goods so that they could sell the goods at the Kavad Mela and get some arrivals, but their arms were watered down.
