Vijayawada/Guntur: With Covid-19 lockdown being implemented in two Telugu states, the Telangana police are allowing only the vehicles having e-pass into the state at the highways and blocking the vehicles which do not have e-passes.

Unaware of the restrictions, a large number of people travelled on the Vijayawada-Hyderabad highway crossing Jaggaiahpet in Krishna district.
