Farmers’ Protest Chokes Traffic On Delhi-Noida Roads

Noida: Traffic chaos gripped roads on Delhi-Noida border on Monday as law enforcers put up barricades and diverted vehicles in their attempt to prevent protesting farmers from Uttar Pradesh to march towards Parliament to demand guaranteed MSP and press other demands.

The protesters’ gathering point near the Maha Maya flyover in Noida grew bigger by noon as Bhartiya Kisan Parishad (BKP) and supporters of other farmers’ organisations broke some barricades and attempted to march towards New Delhi.

Besides restricting the movement of heavy vehicles on the Yamuna Expressway and the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, Noida Police issued a traffic advisory ahead of the protest.
