On Tuesday, the Gurugram police continued to carry out random checks at their side of the border leading to minor congestion near the barricades during peak hours as the traffic slowed down.

Many commuters said that they were confused about the restrictio­ns. Some of the daily commuters said after the news circulated on social media that the borders were sealed in Delhi, they started early and crossed the border before the sunrise to escape police screening. “I am very confused and had a sleepless night as I had to cross the border early morning before the police could start checking. The police get active after 8am, until then I can cross freely,” said Mandeep Singh, senior executive of a private company.

Around 25 police personnel were deployed at Sirhaul border, out of which nine were randomly checking the vehicles and had turned away several commuters who were not carrying valid permission­s for work.the police said the volume of traffic was high during Tuesday evening which resulted in long queues at Sirhaul, Dundahera and DLF Phase-3 connecting to Aya Nagar in Delhi following which they had removed barricades for half an hour.gurugram Police commission­er Muhammad Akil said,“we have not received any new guidelines for the borders but we are randomly checking vehicles. The residents travelling to Delhi are allowed to cross the border if they have valid movement passes or valid identity cards ,” he said.

ON DELHI BORDER

Traffic moved smoothly at some of the 29 border points in Delhi while intermitte­nt checking was conducted at some others on Tuesday.

Senior Delhi Police officers said their personnel were briefed not to “unnecessar­ily harass anyone” and “allow Delhi residents to enter the Capital after seeing their residentia­l proof”.

Many regular commuters HT spoke to said that their travel to Delhi from Ghaziabad and Noida was smoother than what they had experience­d in the past few weeks despite curbs imposed by the district administra­tions of the two Uttar Pradesh cities.

A Delhi government spokespers­on said, “The Delhi government had sent the order to seal all borders to the Delhi police. It is now the job of the police to enforce it. The Delhi police is not under us.”

GURUGRAM: Four days after a 24-year-old nurse of a private hospital allegedly attempted suicide at her house after she tested positive for Covid-19, she succumbed to injuries at a city hospital on Monday night.

The police have initiated inquest proceeding­s under Section 174 of code of criminal procedure. According to the police, the incident was reported around 3.30pm on May 28. The police said the victim was staying in a rented accommodat­ion with two roommates in Sector 38.

Naveen Kumar, SHO, Sadar police station, said, “The nurse had tested positive for coronaviru­s disease. She was informed by the administra­tion on Thursday morning, following which she informed her mother over the phone and then disconnect­ed the call. Her mother called one of her neighbours and asked some of her colleagues to check on her.”
