Traffic on Delhi border areas affected as farmers' protest enters eighth day
New Delhi [India], December 3, 2020 (ANI): In the wake of the ongoing farmers' agitation in the national capital, Delhi Traffic Police on Thursday appealed to citizens to take alternative routes as Singhu and Tikri borders with Haryana, Chilla border on Noida link road, besides Jharoda, and Jhatikra borders remained closed.
Badusarai border is open only for two-wheelers.
The police advised the commuters to avoid the Outer Ring Road from Signature Bridge to Rohini and vice versa, GTK Road, National Highway-44 and Singhu, Auchandi, and Lampur borders, as the traffic is "very heavy".
"Singhu border is still closed from both sides. Lampur, Auchandi, and other small borders also closed. Please take alternate routes. Traffic has been diverted from Mukarba Chowk and GTK Road," the police tweeted on Thursday morning.
As the Chilla border on Noida Link Road is closed for traffic due to the farmers' protests near Gautam Budh Dwar, police have advised the commuters to avoid it for going to Noida and use NH-24 and Delhi Noida Direct Flyway instead.
On Haryana side, Dhansa, Daurala, Kapashera, Rajokri (on NH-8), Bijwasan/Bajghera, Palam Vihar, and Dundahera borders are open.
