Movement of all persons shall be prohibited from 9 p.m. onwards. Officers of Government of India and Government of Telangana on emergency duty, all private medical personnel such as doctors, nursing staff, paramedics and providers of other hospital services, pregnant women and patients for the purpose of receiving medical care and persons coming from/going to airports, railway stations, bus stands will be exempted on the production of a valid ticket.
There will be no restriction on inter-state and intra-state movement/transportation of essential and non-essential goods. Public transport services including autos and taxis shall be allowed to function within the stipulated time for the transportation of the categories of people exempted from the curfew.
The GO says that any violation will result in prosecution under Sections 51 to 60 of Disaster Management Act 2005 and Section 188 of Indian Penal Code (IPC) as well as other applicable laws.
