Delhi-Noida border to remain sealed: New guidelines issued for Gautam Buddh Nagar
New lockdown guidelines released by the District Magistrate of Gautam Buddh Nagar on Sunday stated that the movement on Noida-Delhi inter-state border will continue to be restricted in view of the rise in coronavirus cases in the national capital.
A report was submitted to the Gautam Buddh Nagar Health Department on Sunday stating that in the last 20 days, 42 per cent of the coronavirus cases in the district were tracked to Delhi. Therefore, the Noida administration decided that the status of the Delhi-Noida border will remain same as before.
The district administration had on April 21 banned movement of people between Noida and Delhi.
The inter-state travel ban exempts ambulances, doctors, goods carriers, media, those directly involved in COVID-19 services and those with passes issued by the administration.
The Centre on Saturday extended the nationwide lockdown, which was slated to end on May 31, till June 30 with a phased plan, first being termed as 'Unlock 1', to unlock India barring the containment zones or the areas sealed because of a large number of Covid-19 cases. Lockdown 5.0 guidelines will come into effect from June 1 and will be effective till June 30.
