Dehradun district magistrate R Rajesh Kumar on Saturday, reported news agency ANI. The DM said that those coming from outside the state will have to bring the RT-PCR report not less than 72 hours.
According to officials, the move comes in the backdrop of reports stating that the third wave of Covid-19 may strike the country in October.
The Dehradun district authorities have also stepped up vigil and inspected the market, including Mussoorie Mall Road, after receiving frequent complaints of violation of Covid-19 guidelines.
The senior officers, who covered the 3-km stretch from Kitab Ghar to Picture palace on foot, issued a stern warning to those who were found flouting the mandatory face mask rule.
