Rajasthan govt increases vigil at borders to check cash transfer

The Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government in Rajsathan has increased checking at the borders with police checking every vehicle entering the state for cash, which could possibly be used for political horse trading in the present political scenario of the state.

Behror: Amid the on-going political crisis in Rajasthan, the state government has increased vigilance at the borders to check any illegal cash transfer as no vehicle is being allowed to enter from Haryana, Delhi and other NCR areas without proper checking.

Vigilance has been increased on the state borders to check and stop political parties sending in cash for possible political horse-trading when Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government is in turmoil after former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot's rebellion against it.

However, police authorities denied that the checking was increased in view of political developments and said, "it was being done to check increasing cases of Covid-19 affected people in the state".

"It has been done to check and curb the increasing number of coronavirus cases in the state," a police official, manning the state border at the national highway number 8, said.

He said the police have clear instructions to check people coming to the state and make sure that no one enters without due permission.

Meanwhile, the whole exercise has affected the traffic flow as jams could be seen at many points.
