The essential service providers are issued such passes to travel around.
The police have issued 1.87 lakh passes for the duration of the 21-day lockdown. This was issued only for emergency purposes. One-day passes have been issued to avail medical services. They can get the pass by submitting the relevant medical data to the jurisdictional police station. Police will take stringent action against those getting out of their homes the police sources informed.
“The government and the public have appreciated our efforts. But we still have a major role to play,” Mr. Bhasker Rao the Commissioner of Police Bangalore said, adding that the public should not be hassled. Rao told his subordinates that bank employees, BESCOM staff, water tankers, sanitisation workers, private security staffers, media personnel, vegetable/fruit vendors, poultry shops and those bringing essentials to the markets be permitted to go on with their work. He asked police personnel posted at the check posts to check the passes thoroughly since some citizens are using fake passes to roam around.
