Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal has written a letter to Maharashtra Chief Secretary Sitaram Kunte recommending that domestic passengers fully vaccinated against Covid-19 arriving in Mumbai should be exempted from carrying negative RT-PCR reports.

"There are many passengers who are taking up a journey to Delhi or other business places in the morning and they are returning back on the same day in the evening or next day morning, in such case conducting the RT-PCR test and getting the report becomes impossible. In view of the above, the domestic passengers who are fully vaccinated may be exempted from carrying negative RT PCR test report while arriving in the city of Mumbai," Chahal wrote in his letter on Tuesday.
