Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot decided on Wednesday to seal all interstate boundaries of Rajasthan to prevent any unauthorised entry of persons. Holding a high-level meeting late on Wednesday night, Gehlot directed the officials to seal the border with immediate effect and regulate the interstate boundaries so that those who have permission from the state government could enter.
Gehlot said there had been an unprecedented increase in the number of novel coronavirus cases in many states of the country in the past few days. “It has been decided to seal the borders with the possibility of people in large numbers entering without permission from other states of the country,” Gehlot said in a statement. The chief minister said protecting the lives of the people was the top priority. He said the permission for interstate traffic would be given only by strictly adhering to the guidelines and conditions issued by the Union Home Ministry.
