The Ghaziabad administration has completely sealed the Vaishali area. The area was sealed after 31 people tested positive for coronavirus cases. Except for the essential services, no movement has been allowed in the area. Police along with barricades have been deployed at different entry points of Vaishali.

According to official records of the administration, Vaishali has five category 1 containment zones (areas where at least one case has emerged), and also two category 2 containment zones ( areas where more than one positive case has emerged).

The district officials have been mulling over implementing the sector scheme in Vaishali and also inspected the area on Saturday.

Vaishali and

Indirapuram have been two coronavirus hotspots in Ghaziabad. But according to reports, the cases saw a sudden spurt after the border curbs became lax during lockdown 3.0 and 4. Recently, the Ghaziabad administration has again imposed stringent curbs prohibiting all border movement between Delhi and Ghaziabad.

The Ghaziabad administration had previously sealed off Loni and Khoda colony, where the area is divided into several pockets and an administrative team comprising medical and police personnel is assigned to each pocket to ensure that there is no movement. Additionally, random tests are also being done.

Hundreds of officegoers, those with valid epasses and many with medical appointments were stuck for hours on the busy entry points of Delhi as its borders were sealed on Tuesday, leading to chaos and traffic snarls.
