New Delhi, May 26,
Passengers had a harrowing time on Tuesday morning after the Ghaziabad district administration sealed its border with the national capital, with the traffic of vehicles in the queue more than a kilometre.
Persons traveling in their vehicles were trapped in the heavy traffic on the Ghaziabad border. The long vehicle queue was a witness of both the sides of the district, near the Ghazipur mandi that connects Delhi with Ghaziabad on National Highway 24.
The district administration in an order on Monday had said, “In Ghaziabad district, there is an increase in the number of cases of coronavirus in the past few days. A large part of these cases is linked to those who commute between Delhi and Ghaziabad.”
“Therefore, in the recommendations of the Chief Medical officer, the district administration has decided to seal the Delhi Ghaziabad border to new orders,” the order read.
The administration said that the people employed in essential services would be allowed. Doctors, paramedical staff, police, media personnel, and bank employees will not have passes. Their identity cards will be sufficient.
Officials of third-and fourth-graders work with the central and the Delhi government offices where the 33% attendance system is in place, are required to produce temporary passes from their offices to gain entry into the district and their identity cards alone will not be considered.
The order also stated that until the time of the central and the Delhi government employees do not receive adequate passes their ID cards, which will be valid for travel. Even the defenders have been allowed to travel to Delhi.
The order also asked the government employees to enter Delhi before 9 am and back to Ghaziabad after 6 pm.
The order also stated that, in case of emergency to residents willing to get e-passes will have to apply. Such requests will be evaluated and then e-passes, he said. IANS
