Officers across districts bordering Maharashtra are facing several challenges in letting in only those who have a COVID-19 negative certificate.
A series of check-posts have been put up across the inter-State border in Belagavi, Bagalkot, Vijayapura, Kalaburagi, and Bidar. Kalaburagi has the highest number at five, Belagavi has four, Bidar has three, while Vijayapura has two. Posters have been put up in English and Kannada that a RT-PCR negative certificate not older than 72 hours was mandatory for entering Karnataka.
