Haryana seals borders with Delhi in wake of increasing Covid cases

NEW DELHI: In bid to prevent spread in the state, Haryana Government has sealed its borders with Delhi today. The fresh order of sealing the borders was issued by Anil Vij, Health Minister, Haryana, on Thursday night. Now as the borders have been sealed between Delhi-Gurugram, Vij said that the decision was taken after factoring in that the districts that are bordering Delhi have witnessed a sharp increase in the number of cases. This is the matter of concern, as the four worst hit Haryana districts of Gurgaon, Faridabad Sonipat and Jhajjar account for 1,504 cases and all four border Delhi. As the borders were sealed, massive traffic jams have been witnessed at the border as only people with essential services passes are allowed to commute between the states. The checking of the pass at the border has led to the jam here.
