Recently there have been changes in e-pass in Tamil Nadu. The state government has informed the Madras High Court that the existing format of getting e-pass will be substituted with an e-registration system for persons moving into the state from outside amid the coronavirus pandemic. Advocate General Vijay Narayan notified the first Division Bench of Chief Justice Amreshwar Pratap Sahi and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy on the change in protocols being planned by the state government.

According to the new plan, applicants will only be asked to fill in basic details in the e-registration system for the purpose of contact tracing. However, the e-pass procedure will proceed to be in place for travelling to hill stations in the state. Under this existing protocol, e-passes to hill stations would be issued only to those who have an address in the area and not to tourists. This will be continued due to restricted medical facilities available in hill stations.

The judges then ordered the state government to address the Union government with respect to the continuance of e-pass in hill stations and make the new protocols public. In Tamil Nadu, an auto-generated e-pass is compulsory for all travellers coming into the state. The proposed e-registration system will make the process easier for travellers.
