Traffic congestion at Delhi-Ghaziabad border near Ghazipur (ANI photo)LUCKNOW: While the Centre has provided several relaxations under lockdown 5, which will start from June 1, UP government will be issuing its own detailed guidelines on Sunday. A senior official said that UP's rules would be as per central guidelines though district administrations may still have the prerogative to enforce a stricter version of the lockdown in their areas depending on the severity of the Covid-19 spread.
The government will also take a final call on opening of Noida and Ghaziabad borders with Delhi by Sunday, said a state government spokesperson.
At present, there are major restrictions at the border due to the high number of cases in the national capital. However, the Centre has permitted free movement across states under the next phase of lockdown.
So far, UP has largely followed the central government's guidelines in implementing the first four phases of the lockdown and currently, most parts of the state, other than containment zones, have witnessed a substantial easing of lockdown rules.
