The Delhi Traffic Police on Monday mentioned that Chilla and Ghazipur borders will remain closed and urged commuters to take alternate routes on account of ongoing farmers’ protest.
“Traffic Alert: The Chilla and Ghazipur Borders are closed for traffic coming from Noida and Ghaziabad to Delhi due to farmer protests. Please take alternate route for coming to Delhi by way of Anand Vihar, DND, Bhopra and Loni Borders,” the Delhi Traffic Police wrote on Twitter.
The police further informed that the Tikri and Dhansa borders are closed for any traffic movement, whereas the Jhatikara border is open only for LMV (Cars/ Light Motor Vehicles), two-wheelers and pedestrian movement.
The police mentioned that the Jharoda (Only Single Carriageway/Road), Daurala, Kapashera, Badusarai, Rajokri NH-8, Bijwasan/Bajghera, Palam Vihar and Dundahera borders are open to Haryana.
In the meantime, the central government on Monday will maintain a fresh round of talks with leaders of farmer unions who’ve been protesting at completely different borders of Delhi for more than a month in opposition to the recently- enacted three agricultural laws.
Farmers started their protest since November 26 in opposition to the recently enacted three farm laws — the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
