Farmers’ protest: Delhi’s Chilla, Ghazipur borders remain closed, traffic diverted
Description
Several borders of the national capital with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh (UP) continued to remain closed for traffic movement on Wednesday due to the ongoing farmers’ protest against three new farm laws. The Delhi-UP border at Chilla and Ghazipur is closed for those coming from Noida and Ghaziabad. The traffic police advised motorists coming into Delhi from Uttar Pradesh to take routes passing through Anand Vihar, DND Flyway, Loni DND and Apsara borders, which have remained mostly unaffected.
