COVID-19 cases are
currently at an all-time high and the Indian government is taking the necessary
steps to bring the situation under control. In order to reduce the spread of
the coronavirus, the Maharashtra government has announced a complete lockdown in
the state. The new restrictions came into effect from 8 pm on April 22 and are
set to continue till 7 am on May 1.
With
the lockdown in place, the residents are restricted from travelling to work or
for leisure. In case you need to travel Inter-State or Inter-District during
the lockdown, you will need an e-pass for that which will be issued by the
Police Commissioner.
