The State Government of Karnataka decided to suspend flights arriving from five states which include Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Also, travel by road from the states of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Gujarat have been suspended by the state. The decision comes amid the rising numbers of COVID-19 positive cases in the state. The suspension of the passengers arriving from these five states will be reviewed in a week’s time. State Law Minister Madhuswamy said that the restrictions are mainly on air traffic from Maharashtra as nearly 40% of the passengers arriving from Maharashtra have tested positive for COVID-19 infection. While Gujarat and Tamil Nadu come second to Maharashtra. He admitted that the influx of passengers into Bengaluru is higher than expected.
