Maharashtra will take decision on inter-state and intra-state travel guidelines soon

| Monday | 24th August, 2020

Summary:

The state of Maharashtra is going to rethink its inter-state and intra-state travel guidelines.

Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has said that the state is yet to make a decision on lifting inter and intra-state movement.

This comes after, Ajay Bhalla, the Union Home Secretary wrote to the Chief Secretaries of each state saying that there should not be any more restrictions on intra-state and inter-state movement of people and goods. It was also mentioned that restrictions would amount to violation of the Ministry of Home Affairs’ (MHA), guidelines.

The Home Minister of Maharashtra took note of the guidelines and tweeted saying that “appropriate decision will be taken regarding the same after discussion with Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister.”

It has been further stated by Ajay Bhalla that no special permission, approval, or e-permit would be required for people or goods for trading internationally, as per the treaties with India’s neighboring countries. These steps are being taken in order to revive the economy and help people to keep their employment. Until now, Maharashtra folks have been relying on e-passes that were mandatory.

Unlock 4 is looking to make some major changes, such as it is being speculated that stand-alone cinema halls might open up from September 1, but not the multiplexes. However, the seating will be a lot different, and tickets will be purchased without any contact.
