Authorities have made virus tests mandatory for those entering the area, where officials said they were battling to hold back crowds.
Hundreds of thousands of Hindu devotees flocked on Monday to take a holy bath in the Ganges river in Uttarakhand’s Haridwar, even as the nation racked up the world’s highest tally of new daily coronavirus infections. With 168,912 new cases, India accounts for one in six of all new infections globally, although the figure is still well below the US peak of nearly 300,000 new cases on January 8.
