THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday reiterated that entry pass was mandatory to enter Kerala through the border check posts along with the neighbouring states.

"People without the passes will not be allowed to enter Kerala and they will be sent back. Those who desire to come to the State should register through the Covid Jagratha Portal and they should start their journey only after getting the pass," the Chief Minister said while addressing a press conference at the Government Secretariat.

"The pass is mandatory. Based on logistics and for crowd control, there is a limit on the number of people who can cross the border every day and passes are being issued according to that," he further said.
