A release from the Southern Railway said that rail passengers should regsiter their details online and obtain a T.N. e-pass: “For the movement of rail passengers from one zone to another (other than Chennai), it is mandatory that they register their details online and obtain a T.N. e-pass by applying on the website https://TNepass.tnega.org,” the release said.
It added: “For intra or inter-district movement of rail passengers within the zone classified by the government of Tamil Nadu, the T.N. e-pass is not required.”
The release added that those who wish to travel from Chennai (zone VIII) to other zones should mandatorily register their details online and obtain an e-pass. As for travelling from other States to Tamil Nadu, registration and e-pass is compulsory.
It was also notified that trains like the Coimbatore-Mayiladuturai-Coimbatore (Janshatabdi Special) and Madurai-Villupura-Madurai intercity superfast will be run from June 1.
