Andhra Pradesh continue to restrict inter-state travel

  • Andhra Pradesh government will continue to regulate the entry of people from other states for some more time even as the central government has relaxed lockdown norms with respect to inter-state movement.
  • Also, people will have to wait for a few more days for inter-state bus services to resume as the neighbouring states are yet to give their consent.
  • COVID-19 nodal officer and principal secretary (Transport) MT Krishna Babu said entry through the check posts will continue to be governed as per COVID Instant Order 55.
  • Krishna Babu further added that those who desire to come to AP, have to mandatorily register themselves in the Spandana website.
