Mysore/Mysuru: The first and second wave of COVID-19 pandemic have ruined the lives of Tongawallas who squarely depend on tourists for their survival as well of their dependents.
Since last year, tourism has hit the rock bottom in Mysuru, one of the main tourist destinations in the country, with months of lockdown, followed by slowdown of economy and fear among people due to Coronavirus. When the economy was about to pickup, the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic has once again hit lives of these people who cannot feed their families and the horses.
