There is some relief for commuters between Noida, Ghaziabad and Delhi. After months of restrictions at the Delhi-Noida border on movement of vehicles, the Gautam Budh Nagar and Ghaziabad administration have decided to lift the restrictions from today.

The restrictions at the Noida-Delhi border was implemented back in March during Lockdown 1 phase. In April, Ghaziabad followed Gautam Bush Nagar and imposed restrictions on movement of vehicles at the border in an attempt to curb spreading of Covid-19 virus. The decision will mean no vehicles will be stopped at the border checkpoints for e-passes required earlier to travel between the two cities. However, movement will continue to be restricted in areas which fall under containment zones.

Ghaziabad district magistrate (DM) Ajay Shankar Pandey said, The will be no restriction on movement of commuters to Delhi but we will not allow commuters from containment zones to move out. The cops will remain deployed at the border for their routine checks. Shops and markets in Ghaziabad, outside the containment zones, will continue to operate between 9am to 9pm.
