A day after the national Capital saw a sea of migrants moving to interstate bus terminal at Anand Vihar and marching to cross Delhi borders, the Delhi Government on Sunday took stern action to prevent such recurrence.
The Government ordered two FIRs and ordered criminal action and impounding of buses for entertaining unauthorised passengers during the lockdown.
The two FIRs were filed on the orders of the Delhi Chief Secretary.
The first FIR was filed minutes after a police team in East Delhi turned back 44 buses between 7 am and 5 pm on Saturday. All of them had a sticker “Essential Services”, but were carrying migrant voters to locations near the Delhi-UP border. The FIR copy, the conductors had not issued any tickets to the passengers.“When drivers were asked why are they carrying migrant passengers, that too without issuing any ticket to them, all of them said that ‘they had orders from superiors’,” the FIR said.
