THE City police have denied permission to 11,044 persons who had submitted applications for e-passes to travel within State or out of State. Similarly, the police have booked a whopping 600 motorists for travelling without e-pass since April 23.
As part of the lockdown imposed in the State, e-passes were made necessary for inter-district as well as inter-state travel. Maharashtra Police had started issuing e-passes from April 22 to stop unnecessary travel while tackling the second wave of COVID-19.
As per data, since April 23, Nagpur Police received a total of 21,227 applications for granting of e-pass. Of them, while 11.044 (55.90 per cent) applications were rejected, 9,361 (44.09 per cent) e-passes were issued. Out of the total issued passes, 6,739 (71.99 per cent) were issued for inter-district movement while 2,185 (28.01 per cent) were issued for inter-state movement (out of Maharashtra).
Sources claimed that some applicants did not have an essential reason or emergency to travel and hence they failed to upload necessary documents. The police identify this during scrutiny of the application and deny permission to travel.
Commissioner of Police (CP) Amitesh Kumar told ‘The Hitavada’ that applications without proper supporting documents were rejected during scrutiny. The rejection percentage is more than the percentage of approval.
The Police Commissioner further said that passes are being issued only when the travel is essential under the mandated protocol of the government. “The e-passes are mandatory for inter-district or inter-state travel,” he said. People must have a valid reason to travel and it should be supported by valid documents to travel. Otherwise, unnecessary loitering and travelling is not allowed,” the CP warned.
“We are trying to enforce this through e-passes and people travelling without e-passes are being booked. I appeal to people to not travel unnecessarily and travel only when it is essential and travel only after their e-passes are issued,” Kumar added.
Till the curbs are lifted, at present proposed to be lifted on June 1 as per the latest decision by the government, people travelling to other districts or outside Maharashtra will be required to obtain an e-pass.
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script als...
