Thiruvananthapuram: State police chief Loknath Behera said police have made all preparations for the partial exemptions that will be given to districts on the basis of government’s classification.
Behera said on Saturday that though there would be a partial relaxation, people should carry self-declaration. “There would be random checking and if people are carrying self-declaration, it would be convenient. For some interstate and interdistrict movements, even if they get an interstate clearance, checking will become easier if they carry a self-declaration form. It is like a passport or a visa, which can be shown if they are asked,” he said.
However, those working in the exempted category, like banks or financial institutions, need to carry their identity card and it will be accepted, he said.
The state police chief said under the odd-even scheme for vehicles, it is estimated that 40% vehicles would be off the roads on a day, though government vehicles and those driven by women were exempted.
Only three will be allowed in a car. Even if a person belongs to a permitted category, his vehicle will have to follow the odd-even vehicle rule. In two-wheelers, only one passenger is desirable and if travellers are from same family like a husband and wife or father and son, they will be given permission, he said.
Behera added that even in districts where there are relaxations, interdistrict movement will not be allowed except for essential services like medical or courier service. He said even within the four districts coming under red zones, movement will be strict, and in containment zones of these districts, only essentials like medical or food supply movement will be permitted.
