With the start of another round of interdistrict travel ban today, some employees who are authorised to travel for work have complained that the police and the International Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) were out of sync on the standard operating procedures (SOPs).

This came after some workers who showed their Miti authorisation letters to cops at roadblocks were told they need to get them stamped by police, despite Miti saying no stamping was necessary.

Miti's announcement was made on May 7 but with some cops not getting the memo, the ministry decided to send one to the men in blue - publicly on Twitter.
