Dharwad: The Dharwad district administration has started issuing e-passes for emergency travel.
Deputy commissioner Deepa Cholan said on Monday that the decision was taken to help people who are away from the district headquarters and want to travel due to emergencies. Residents in far-off places are unable to reach out to the district administration and fill out forms to avail passes for emergency travel.
The pass is issued for medical emergency travel, to get medicines from other places and for attending funerals. Applicants can visit www.supportdharwad.in and submit their e-form.
The HDMC is issuing passes to wholesale dealers, retailers, bakery owners, fruit and vegetable sellers. Applicants have to submit their Aadhaar number, passport-size photographs along with the form. Teams have been formed to scrutinise the application forms.
