Gurugram, May 1 (IANS): Taking extra precautions over COVID-19, the Gurugram administration completely sealed the border with Delhi on Friday morning.

Due to this, chaos prevailed at Sirhaul, Dundahera and Nathupur borders. Some of the residents of Gurugram who are trapped in Delhi after the lockdown desperately wanted to return Gurugram. Many of them literally pleaded with the cops but they were refused by Gurugram Police.

At 10 a.m., an MLA from Samalkha, a police personnel of Delhi having health issues, and a nursing staff were also denied permission to enter Gurugram at Sirhaul border. The police however allowed them after 2 hours after they repeatedly requested them with valid health reasons.

Karan Goyal, the ACP of Gurugram (DLF city) said: "We have allowed only those commuters associated with essential services."

"We have asked medical staff, police personnel, media personnel and other employees associated with essential services to stay in the cities where they work. Inter border travelling is not allowed," Goyal said.

Gurugram administration is taking extra precautions after the district gained the status of orange zone. Ministry of health and family welfare has upgraded status of Gurugram after cases have gone up.
