CAN WE TRAVEL 'TO AND FROM' CHENNAI? KANCHIPURAM, CHENGALPATTU AND TIRUVALLUR DISTRICT BORDERS SEALED? CHECK HERE

Since Chennai has been reporting a large number of coronavirus cases, the borders of Chennai have been shut by the police. Only those with E-pass can enter the city, from today.

Only those with valid E-Passes are allowed to enter Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu, and Tiruvallur districts. Even those who have to travel between these districts for work have been sent back from today.

“We have sent back at least 8,000 vehicles since morning,” Chengalpattu SP Kannan told the New Indian Express.

Kancheepuram SP D Samundeeswari said, “Owing to the weekend and the rumoured lockdown, many people wanted to reach Kancheepuram or cross the district. People who are working in Chennai said they had to come every day and that they cannot get e-pass. We have asked them to contact the Collector’s office for details.”
