Even as the central government prepares a roadmap for lockdown 4.0, the post May 17 lockdown e-passes are set to witness more relaxations with the government planning to widen its ambit beyond medical staff and emergency services in green and orange Covid-19 zones. The idea is not just to ease travel restrictions in Covid-19 safe zones but address several harassment complaints by domestic help in areas that are safe but face tough lockdown norms endangering the livelihood of locals.
According to Union government sources, a detailed plan in this regard will be out later this week. The government has also clarified that stiff restrictions will, however, continue in areas marked as Covid-19 red and containment zones. Meanwhile, the government further plans to streamline the online system that issues these epasses. A new template for online epasses is likely to be shared with each state government to make such a process swift and hassle free.
The state-wise lockdown e-Passes for movement permission can be applied through a central government website developed by the National Informatics Centre under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). The NIC provides infrastructure to help support the delivery of government IT services and the delivery of some of the initiatives of Digital India.
