In yet another major relaxation of Covid-19 induced lockdown rules, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami today said inter-district operations of buses and trains will commence from September 7.
In a statement, he said standard operating procedures will be followed and requested people to make use of the services only if necessary, in view of the prevailing Covid-19 situation.
Palaniswami, only on Sunday, announced extension of lockdown till September 30. “Under relaxed norms, no complete lockdown will be enforced on Sundays in September. E-pass system for inter-district travel will be discontinued. All places of worship, hotels and resorts have been allowed to re-open,” he said.
Buses run by State owned enterprise started running within districts from Tuesday with 50% capacity with the government deciding to bear the loss.
