A day after new restrictions banning inter-state and inter-district travel were implemented across Maharashtra, Director General of Police Sanjay Pandey on Friday restarted the e-pass system for people who want to embark on an inter-city or inter-state trip. The Indian Express explains how this e-pass system will work. The police posted at each police station have been instructed to help them in filling their e-pass application form. In 2020, during the lockdown, two types of passes were issued, an e-pass for inter-city and inter-state travel; and an essential service card was issued by the authorities concerned. Yellow is for all other essential services mentioned in the government order which includes all government servants and press/media persons.
