Nilgiris District Collector, M. Aruna, inspected the Kallar check-post separating The Nilgiris from Coimbatore, to check the implementation of the e-pass system that came into effect from Tuesday, May 7, 2024.
The e-pass system, which is being implemented in The Nilgiris and Kodaikanal on the orders of the Madras High Court, was expected to face a few teething troubles on Tuesday. However, there were no major disruptions to traffic as officials from the Nilgiris district administration worked towards ensuring that tourists faced no hassles.
A few tourist vehicles venturing up the slopes had failed to procure the e-pass before travelling to The Nilgiris. Police as well as district administration officials at the inter-state and inter-district check-posts guided them on how to apply for the auto-generated e-pass, which took most of them less than five minutes to accomplish.
