Mysore/Mysuru: We are under lockdown 4.0 and most of the businesses including the long-closed salons and beauty parlours have opened up for business. However, there is one business, a famed one in Mysuru that too, the Tonga ride business which is in dire straits and is desperate for a revival package. With no tourists and with not even an indication of tourist arrival in the coming days, these Tongawallahs are staring at an uncertain future.
Many of them do not know any other work except their age-old profession of taking tourists on a jolly ride or taking care of their animals. And they cannot even switch to any other profession during this time of a crisis, induced by an invisible creature we all call Coronavirus.
