A day after 30 Punjab tourists ransacked outlets, homes in Manikaran, Nagaland minister Temjen Imna Along took to Twitter to share a picture of a street, purportedly someplace in Himachal Pradesh, littered with damaged liquor bottles by tourists.
“It’s dangerous. Don’t do that. Drinking and throwing scrap bottles are injurious to well being and atmosphere,” he wrote.
Ayalee ! It’s Bad?
Don’t do that.“Atithi Devo Bhava” का मतलब ही बिगाड़ दिया”?

He posted the picture in response to a tweet posted by a consumer.
In Manikaran, movies of the ruckus had been viral on the social media. Many parked autos and a close-by police station was pelted on with stones.
Himachal Pradesh Director General of Police Sanjay Kundu spoke to his Punjab counterpart Gaurav Yadav and apprised him concerning the state of affairs.
“This is relating to Manikaran incident of final night time and early morning. Do not fall prey to faux information and hearsay mongering. The DGP-HP Sanjay Kundu has spoken to DGP Punjab Sh. Gaurav Yadav,” an official assertion by the Himachal DGP stated in an announcement.
The state of affairs is completely peaceable in Manikaran Sahib and I urge folks to take care of peace & concord
I’ve spoken to DGP @himachalpolice & @PunjabPoliceInd are working collectively to take care of Law & Order

“All tourists and pilgrims are welcome to Himachal Pradesh. Himachal Police assures of hassle-free visits to all tourists and pilgrims,” he added.
The Manikaran shrine, situated in the Parvati Valley alongside the banks of the Parvati river, is a few 50 km from the Kullu district headquarters and 250 from state capital Shimla.
The space can be identified for its scorching springs of water with excessive sulphur focus.
