Ban on inter-state travelling to be reviewed

Mar 18, 2020

There is no need to rush to the police station to obtain special permission to travel outstation during the Movement Control Order.

This is because police have now rescinded the ban on inter-state travel for the time being, while waiting for officials to make a final decision on the matter. 

It comes after authorities had earlier said that those wishing to travel across state lines during the Movement Control Order, would first need to obtain special permission from the cops.

This led to long queues at police stations around the country last night, forcing the cops putting the requirement on hold for now.
