Director general of police, Sanjay Pandey, on Friday said that besides getting passes online, citizens can also get them from local police stations. “The basic idea is that those who do not have internet access can also get it by just visiting the nearest police station. Policemen will help them in filling the form and get the pass. This arrangement will help people from the lower strata of the society,” Pandey said.
