First of all, as per the guidelines of the Central Government, the Center has now lifted the ban on the movement of all passenger trains (Red, Orange and Green) except the containment zone. However, there are rules for private vehicles. Now all zones can run Autos, Taxi, and Buses.

Meanwhile, the Centre did not explicitly state its intention to travel from one state to another by its own vehicle. The instruction is for passenger vehicles only. That is, with private vehicles, we can only cross the state border when we have a special pass.
