Heavy traffic jam at DND due to a check post set up by the administration during the nationwide lockdown against coronavirus.

In a statement issued from the authority, it said the Noida-Delhi border will remain sealed except for movement of people associated with exempted services. This order will once again restrict vehicular movement between the borders for people residing in NCR till the end of the month.

The decision comes days after the lockdown was extended with revised guidelines from May 18. Initially vehicles were allowed for people travelling for work to cross the city borders in the NCR region. However, for the past few days, the Kalindi Kunj and DND Flyway have seen major traffic chaos causing mile-long queues to enter or exit these borders past the checkpoints.

One of the key causes for the traffic jams was police asking for passes from motorists. Noida administration has been strict while allowing entry of vehicles from Delhi. E-passes issued by the DM's office was the key to get past the barricades.

A senior Uttar Pradesh Police official was quoted by news agency PTI saying, "We are checking every vehicle but sometimes it becomes very difficult due to the numbers of vehicles. People with valid passes are being allowed. However, if someone does not have a pass and is carrying some important items like medicine, they are also being allowed."
