Madikeri: The ban on visit of tourists to Kodagu district has been extended till Sept.9. The Kodagu District Administration had earlier banned tourist entry to the flood-ravaged district till Aug.31. A press release from Deputy Commissioner P.I. Sreevidya said that road connectivity in several parts of the district was yet to be established. The DC has asked home stays, resorts, guest houses and hotels operating from Kodagu not to make any bookings till Sept.9. She said that it was still raining and the visit of tourists to affected areas would put their safety at stake. The order has been issued following reports from Kodagu SP that the entry of tourists was dangerous at this point of time and would hamper relief operations.
