Dear, Chief Secretary,
Please refer to Ministry of Home Affairs’ Order of even number dated 29.07.2020 whereby Guidelines for Unlock-3 have been issued.
2. I would like to draw your kind attention to para-5 of these guidelines which clearly state that there shall be no restriction on inter-State and Intra-State movement of persons and goods. No separate permission/approval/e–permit will be required for such This includes movement of persons & goods for cross land border trade under Treaties with neighboring countries.
3. It has, however, been reported that local level restrictions on movement are being imposed by various districts/ States. Such restrictions are creating problems in inter-State movement of goods and services and are impacting the supply chain, resulting in disruption of economic activities and employment, besides affecting supply of goods and services.
4. Such restrictions at local level imposed by the District Administration or by the State Government, amount to violation of the guidelines issued by MHA under the provisions of Disaster Management Act, 2005.
5. I would, therefore, request that no restrictions may be imposed on inter-State and intra State movement of persons and goods and services and instructions issued to ensure that MHA guidelines mentioned above are strictly followed.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
(Ajay Bhalla)
