Chandigarh, May 9 -- The Haryana Government has issued strict instructions directing all officers and employees of departments, boards, corporations, undertakings, and universities to remain at their respective headquarters or stations until further notice.

The directive, issued by the Chief Secretary's Office, clearly states that no official is allowed to leave their station until additional orders are given.

In neighbouring Rajasthan, minister Jogaram Patel on Friday said Indian armed forces neutralised Pakistani drones near the border, with officials and the police had asked residents to stay on alert.

The Chief Minister has also called a high-level meeting, and leave for government staff in border areas has been cancelled.
