The Maharashtra legislature has implemented a stricter entry pass system for the winter session currently in progress at Vidhan Bhavan, Nagpur. Detailed guidelines outline the eligibility criteria for obtaining passes.

Passes will only be issued during the session to authorized government officials, legislators' staff, security personnel, and employees of the Assembly or Council. Other non-permanent workers will need official permission to enter. Enhanced security measures dictate that police allow only those with valid passes, issued under senior official supervision, to enter.

Guidelines also specify that ministers' offices are allowed passes for specific personnel roles, and departments can issue passes to a capped number of individuals. Strict verification at entry points is mandatory to avoid unauthorized access, and pass distribution counters are established in several designated areas to smoothly manage the process.
