Farmers protest in Delhi: Traffic jam on the Delhi – Sonipat highway near Mukarba Chowk.
New Delhi:
Farmer protests on the Delhi borders continued for the 10th day in a row, causing many road closures and detours and causing heavy traffic jams at night.
Farmers protesting the center’s new farm laws have agreed to a sixth round of talks, scheduled for Wednesday, after today’s meeting yielded no progress on the central issue: the repeal of the three farm laws. However, they said the protests will continue and the call for “Bharat Bandh” on Tuesday still stands.
The Delhi Traffic Police on Twitter posted information on the different routes open and closed for travelers due to continued protests by farmers on the national capital’s borders with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
Roads closed due to farmers’ protest:
The borders of Singhu, Auchandi, Lampur, Piao Maniyari and Mangesh are closed, while National Highway 44 is closed on both sides, Delhi traffic police said on Twitter. Take alternative routes through the borders of Safiabad, Saboli, NH8 / Bhopra / Apsara or the peripheral highway.
The borders of Tikri, Jharoda are also closed for any traffic movement.
The Gazipur border on NH 24 is closed to traffic from Ghaziabad to Delhi. People are advised to avoid National Highway 24 to get to Delhi and to use Apsara / Bhopra / DND to get to Delhi.
The Chilla border on the Noida link road is closed to traffic from Noida to Delhi near Gautam Budh Dwar. People are advised to avoid the Noida link road to reach Delhi and to use the DND flyover.
“Farmers on the Chilla border road have blocked Noida to Delhi. We have diverted traffic to the DND (Delhi Noida Direct) airway, so the public should not suffer any inconvenience. We have diverted traffic to two or three different points, which are our Interstate Border Points, “Love Kumar, Additional CP (Law and Order), told Noida to the ANI news agency.
Alternative routes amid farmer protests:

The peasants have threatened to intensify their agitation and block more roads leading to the national capital if the government does not accept their demands.
In the face of increased farmer agitation in recent years, the Center has offered to amend sections of the laws, but the farmers, thousands of whom are camped around Delhi’s borders, insist they must be removed.
