We know that the lockdown has been in Pune since 24th March’20 and thus, the citizens of Pune along with the entire country is facing restrictions on travelling freely at their will. Recently, we have seen that there has been some leniency for the ones who have applied for and has received a valid travelling pass between 7 am and 7 pm, stating a valid reason such as family or medical emergencies or if stranded in a different district/state/city. These passes are issued by the government or local authorities and are one-use only, i.e they are good for one round trip or a one way drop off.
The travel passes are a must in the red zone areas of the city, even in local areas as the restrictions have increased.
Some points to be noted:
- These passes are issued by the Maharashtra Police
- A Google Login is required for an e-pass.
- People looking to travel to their hometown, but would require permissions from origin state and destination state and a transport license issued by the District Collector if travelling by their vehicle.
- All the essential service providers/individuals can apply for the pass.
- These are one-use pass only, valid for one round trip or a one way drop off.
