The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in its new guidelines on Saturday, which come into effect from 1 June, said that there would be no restriction on inter-state and inter-state movement for goods and persons.
Separate permission/approval / e-permit will not be required for such movements. However, if a state or union territory proposes to regulate the movement of individuals, based on an assessment of the causes and condition of public health, then it is comprehensive in advance about the restrictions related to such movement and related publicity procedures will have to be followed, MHA said.
