Farmers’ stir blocks key routes, leads to snarls

There was no relief in sight for commuters from long traffic snarls as thousands of farmers continued to camp out on the borders of Delhi, blocking key entrances to Delhi for the seventh day on the trot. While the police have kept the Haryana-Delhi border at Singhu and Tikri closed for traffic, the protest at Ghazipur, the city’s border with U.P., led to the closure of a key route connecting Delhi with the State for the second consecutive day. “The Chilla border on Noida link road is closed for traffic due to farmers’ protests near Gautam Budh Dwar. People are advised to avoid Noida link road for going to Noida and use NH-24 and DND instead,” the traffic police tweeted. Two more border points connecting Delhi with Gurugram and Jhajjar-Bahadurgarh were also closed. The traffic police said the borders at Tikri, Jharoda and Jhatikra were closed for traffic movement.
