Noida:
Farmers protesting against the new farm laws continued their sit-in on the Noida-Delhi border for a second day today, leading to the closure of a key route connecting Uttar Pradesh with the national capital.
The Noida Traffic Police have advised travelers traveling to Delhi to avoid using the Chilla route and instead take the DND or Kalindi Kunj route.
Farmers on the Delhi-Noida border belong to various districts in western Uttar Pradesh and want to reach the national capital to join the largest agitation launched by farmers in Punjab and Haryana against the Center’s agricultural reform laws.
“Chilla’s route is obstructed due to farmers’ demonstration on the border between Noida and Delhi. Please use alternative routes (DND or Kalindi Kunj) to reach your destination,” the Noida Traffic Police tweeted.
Hundreds of farmers affiliated with the Bharatiya Kisan Union and other groups had gathered at the border on Tuesday night, where heavy security measures were deployed on the Noida and Delhi sides, preventing them from continuing.
