In the case of Tamil Nadu, the state government has banned the public from coming out after the implementation of the CoVid-19 curfew.

It was ordered to apply online for getting an emergency pass in Tamil Nadu. Apparently, there are many problems in getting the E-pass in recent days after several lockdown relaxations. The rejection of E-pass amid the urgent needs created agitation among the public to rise against the government.

In this context, Chief Minister Palaniswami has announced that an e-pass will be issued to all applicants. In this regard, the government has issued a statement stating that the E-pass permit has been issued to all applicants from August 17, 2020 without any delay or restrictions.

If applicants apply with Aadhar or Family Card details along with telephone / mobile number to travel across Tamil Nadu (between districts) without any hindrance for important tasks.

The Chief Minister has advised everyone to use this decision responsibly in the interest of the public to avoid unnecessary travel and apply for E-pass only for unavoidable tasks mainly to contain the contagious virus.
