The Ministry of Finance office in North Block, New Delhi, has been 'sealed' with the Intelligence Bureau taking over control of the entire first and second
floors of the office. Only officials working in the finance ministry are being permitted entry.

The reason?

Preparations for Union Budget 2017-18 have begun.

While media persons and PR persons are barred, grill doors have come up inside the North Block to protect the Tax Research Unit which effectively blocks the entry of unauthorised persons to such areas.
