Govt bans entry of heavy goods vehicles in Delhi

The Delhi government has banned the entry of heavy goods vehicles, barring those carrying essentials, into the city from four borders, including Singhu, as a precautionary measure in view of the rising Yamuna levels, Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot said on Thursday.
Sharing a copy of the order issued by the Transport Department on Twitter, he said.
“Entry of Heavy Goods Vehicles has been banned from Singhu Border, Badarpur Border, Loni Border and Chilla Border as a precautionary measure in view of the abnormally rising water level of the Yamuna River.”
“On the other hand, interstate buses coming from Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Uttarakhand will stop at the Singhu border instead of going to ISBT Kashmeri Gate,” Gahlot said in a tweet in Hindi.
There is no restriction on vehicles carrying essential services such as food and petroleum products, he added.
