Delhi-Faridabad traffic flow smoothens as curbs lifted

Faridabad, June 2

The restrictions imposed by the state government recently for regulating the entry of vehicles from Delhi into the district in view of the Covid were removed today. As a result, the movement of vehicles across the Badarpur border became smooth by late evening today.

“Though there was some rush in the morning and the movement was slow due to random checking by the police, the cops went away by the evening. No cop was posted at the entry to Faridabad at Sector 37 in the evening,” said Mukesh Kumar, a trader and regular commuter.

Claiming that movement across the border has become smooth, Ajay Bahl, a regular commuter to Delhi, said there was no check of any kind on both sides.

Admitting that restrictions had been removed, Naresh Kumar, SHO, Sector 37, said that checking of passes had been halted for the time being as no fresh instructions had been received.

DC Yash Pal Yadav also said movement had become normal as no new directions have been issued by the state government for any check that was being done previously.

Welcoming the decision, Navdeep Chawla, former president of the Faridabad Industries Association, said that border sealing had resulted in grave inconvenience to business and employees. — TNS
