"We have decided not to allow interstate travel at all.
"So you don't need to queue at police stations. The police will not allow anyone to travel interstate anymore," he said at his daily press conference today.
The Senior Minister (Security Cluster) said the government was serious in preventing interstate travel, adding that the authorities would not compromise or tolerate anyone flouting the rules.
