Assam likely to lift ban on inter-dist travel

GUWAHATI: After three months, inter-district travel ban may be withdrawn in Assam from this week.

Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the new SOP will be published on Tuesday.

He added that though some relaxations are expected in the new SOP, reopening of educational institutions to start offline classes may not be possible before September.

The Assam government had banned inter-district vehicular movement in mid-May, except for notified emergency services, when the growing daily Covid cases were taking the second wave towards the peak with more than 6,000 cases per day.
