I'm all for checkpoints, but really how effective they are, if they are at all. To me it seems like late 1980's when terrorism was at its peak in Punjab and there were police check posts in almost entire N. India. But if you had a female in your party, you were waived through. In this case provide a hotel address and you are all set to go as I highly doubt India has the intelligence capabilities to run a background check on every new connection applicant.

It's kinda like to show you are doing something when in reality its more of a hassle to consumer than being effective in whatever they are trying to achieve.
