DC reviews working of police, civil teams at Shambhu barrier

Patiala, May 5

Deputy Commissioner (DC) Kumar Amit, along with SSP Vikram Jeet Duggal, today visited Shambhu Barrier, the entry point on the Ambala-Rajpura National Highway for those coming to Punjab, especially Patiala district.

The DC reviewed working of the police and civil teams deployed at the Shambhu barrier for checking the RTPCR negative report or vaccination certificate of commuters, who wanted to enter Punjab.

It would be ensured that anyone coming to Punjab, especially Patiala, from other states must possess a negative RTPCR test report not more than 72 hours old or a certificate of having jabbed against Covid over two weeks ago, the DC added.

In case of non-availability of these two documents, no one would be allowed to enter Patiala district, the DC said. Instructions had already been issued in this regard, the DC added.

Teams of the police teams and the civil administration had been deployed at the Shambhu barrier to check persons entering Patiala district from the adjoining areas of Haryana, the SSP said.—TNS
