The Commissionerate police on Monday said a pass system would be implemented for persons providing emergency services in the twin city of Cuttack and Bhubaneswar.
Only the vehicles of the people having passes would be allowed to ply on the city from Wednesday.
Commissioner of Police Suidhansu Sarangi said a large number people are coming out on the streets with their vehicles in the twin city which is making it tough for the police to enforce the lockdown measures. These people are putting not only their lives at risk but others’ also.
The police personnel are also getting exposed to unknown persons; and in the present scenario, it is dangerous for them in wake of the pandemic outbreak, he added.
So, people working in critical Government departments, banks and even mediapersons are required to acquire their vehicle passes, Sarangi said.
