As per orders, the Panchkula DC has said that efforts will be made by the district administration to ensure that the common man does not face any trouble during these three days.

The borders adjacent to Punjab will be sealed from Wednesday morning and inter-state blockades are being established, while at the inter-district level, blockades are being erected at which duty magistrates have also been appointed along with adequate police force.
