With lessons learnt from the rain -ravaged Uttarakhand where government struggled to locate pilgrims of the state, Maharashtra is considering a proposal to make it mandatory for people travelling out of state to get their travel plans registered and secure travel insurance.

Minister of state for Relief and Rehabilitation Suresh Dhas told PTI that he had discussed the proposal with Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan and a draft bill to this effect is likely to be introduced in the Monsoon session starting later this month.
