Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) Section 144, which bars assembly of more than four persons, is in force in Gautam Buddh Nagar in view of the pandemic, officials said.

The security checks were intensified over the weekend in view of the lockdown-like curbs which will continue till 5 am on Monday, they said.

"A total of 4,254 vehicles were checked across 200 barrier points in the district and challans issued to 1,727 of them while another 19 were impounded for violating the curbs placed due to Covid-19," the police said in a statement.
