I have helped him to register for e-pass and looking It every hour and today morning seen his application rejected.
It is true that more than 2 lakhs people applied for e-pass, but the rejection looks so arbitrary considering the exempted people who are denied the e-passes.
lt is difficult for these small plumbers, electricians, home makers to prove that their request is genuine as they have no documents to prove that they are engaged in the respective profession. They have other IDs but that does not indicate their profession.
Kerala is passing through a decisive phase of #COVIDSecondWave and there are signs that system gets overwhelming.
So lockdown is justified, but my suggestion is to make practically possible exemptions rather than make them register, wait long hours and get rejected.

When the pandemic struck, last year, Modi summoned his loyal media barons and editors, who, according to the Prime Minister’s Web site, promised “inspiring and positive stories” about his government’s fight against the coronavirus.
The country suffered tens of thousands of covid-19 deaths in 2020, but forecasts of even more dire outcomes did not materialize. In January, at Davos, Modi boasted that India had “saved humanity from a big disaster by containing corona effectively.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi may have given the mantra of looking for opportunity in the crisis but it’s Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who makes the most of it! newindianexpress.com/cities/delhi/2…
When Covid’s current phase was knocking at the doors of the country & Capital, city’s FM Manish Sisodia was presenting a `69,000 crore ‘patriotism’ budget.
The highlights of this budget were installation of 500 flag masts and planning programmes on the lives of freedom fighters
There was announcement of ‘Desh Bhakti’ curriculum but nothing to showcase by the way of strengthening the health infrastructure of the city.
Kejriwal knows that he doesn’t need to work beyond planning right optics, as Delhi being the Capital will not be allowed to collapse.
