Amid the lockdown imposed due to the coronavirus outbreak, police are conducting checks on the non-essential movement of people at the Delhi-Noida border on Saturday.
The police personnel were asking questions to the non-essential travellers and were only sanctioning movement if a valid reason was given.
Tight security has been deployed at the border.
Similarly, police on late Friday evening stopped people in large numbers who tried to cross the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border at Ghazipur.
Migrants living in the national capital have been trying to reach their native places after the 21-day nationwide lockdown was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare had reported a total of 873 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in India.
