The country is going to stay in lockdown until 14th April 2020. This step has been taken by the Indian government in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, to contain the spread of the virus.
People have been restricted from going out of their homes and need to stay indoors so that they can combat the transmission of this deadly virus. As the curfew has been going on, the government has shut down the railways and the interstate buses hence completely stopping the inter-state movement of people in the country.
Because of this move, thousands of migrant workers came on to the roads to walk the way back to their villages, which has further worsened the situation and as a result, there is a lot of chaos and hassles everywhere.
The nationwide 21-day lockdown has been imposed with a uniform policy for all the Indian states to follow along with several measures including the strict and drastic ones.
The e-pass has been issued by the state government of Delhi to help give people permission to travel in the state during the ongoing lockdown.
Other than this, the online portal will provide help to the daily wage workers to get adequate food, ration, compensation of Rupees 5000 and the amount of pension.
To avail for the e-pass, the person has to visit the website mentioned above and submit certain details about him including his/her name, address, contact number, type of service and ID proof.
In the same way, there is a portal for the people of Gurugram. They need to visit the portal ggncurfewpass.in to get a pass for traveling during the lockdown.
In reference to this, the Gurugram DC has tweeted that these passes will be given only in those cases where the work is unavoidable and extremely important. The person will have to mention the purpose of his/her travel and needs to have a valid ID proof to justify the reason for their travel during this lockdown.
