The Central Government has declared nationwide lockdown till 14th April 2020. For this, people need to stay indoors to avoid the spread of the fatal COVID-19 virus. All transportation services, including railways, airlines and buses have been suspended during these days. Cops on duty are ensuring that people do not roam on the streets, unless necessary. Many people who have deviated from the underlined guidelines of lockdown have also been booked under provisions of law.
What Are E-Passes?
If someone needs to travel amid lockdown, the person can collect his travel e-pass from the govt. portal.
