Unlock 4: E-pass will not be required to travel anywhere from Sept 1

Under Unlock 4, all activities and facilities except cinema halls, swimming pools, entertainment parks, theatres (excluding open air theatre) and similar places, will be allowed.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs has released guidelines to be followed under Unlock 4 starting from September 1.

Now, no one will have to get e-passes or register their details on government websites to travel anywhere within the country.

 As per the new guidelines, meant to start more activities outside containment zones amid the coronavirus pandemic, there will be no restriction on inter-state or inter-district movement of people and goods.

Unlock 4 rules, however, do not say anything about the quarantine policy which state governments have been altering in keeping with their Covid caseload.

International air travel of passengers, except as permitted by the Home Ministry, also remains suspended for now.

The Central Government rules also disallow state governments from imposing any local lockdowns outside containment zones without prior consultation with it.

State-specific lockdowns in view of rising coronavirus cases, even night curfew, have affected inter-state traffic, movement of goods and business activities.

Under Unlock 4, all activities and facilities except cinema halls, swimming pools, entertainment parks, theatres (excluding open air theatre) and similar places, will be allowed.
