The incident happened at the Palam Vihar border connected to Bijwasan in Delhi, according to news agency IANS. However, there was no report of any injury on both sides.
According to a district official, residents of Salahpur Khera village adjoining the Gurugram border wanted to enter Gurugram forcibly even though the border remained sealed as per the directives of the Gurugram District Magistrate.
As per the IANS report, around 1,000 villagers who had gathered at the spot were stopped from moving into Gurugram around 9am. This led to altercation between the two sides, following which the villagers started pelting stones at the police.
"Keeping in view the stone-pelting incident, we have deployed additional police to tackle the situation," said Gurugram Police PRO Subhash Bokan to IANS.
After the Delhi government allowed shops to reopen subject to certain conditions, residents on both sides of the Delhi-Gurugram border move between the two cities for trade and other jobs. They have demanded smooth passage on the inter-state border.
The Gurugram authorities have claimed that number of coronavirus-infected persons in the district had increased due to people moving in from Delhi.
Gurugram has so far reported 220 positive cases, including 102 active and admitted in different hospitals.
