The Assam government on Wednesday stopped issuing passes to visitors for entering the state secretariat to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus.
As a preventive measure to restrict gatherings in public places and offices, it has been decided not to issue any visitor's pass, including e-pass till March 31, an order issued by Secretariat Administration Department's Commissioner and Secretary M Angamuthu said.
"The visitors are advised to contact the officers concerned over telephone or e-mails whom they proposed to visit," the official said.
The department had on March 16 restricted the daily entry of persons to the state secretariat to 100.
