Bengaluru: As per the lockdown relaxation guidelines, the inter-district travel will be only allowed to vehicles who produce authorised e-pass.

According to the government orders, e-passes will be issued to stranded students, migrant labourers, and tourists. These passes will be applicable for one-time travel and will not be provided for the return journey.

Those who wish to avail these passes can obtain them by filing an application at the nearest tahsildar's office and by supplying all the necessary documents.

Passes for the inter-district travel will be issued for emergency medical reasons, employees of medical production units and to the employees of defence production units.
