The farmers, who are opposing the agricultural laws of the central government, have stood by their demands and their performance is continuing. Because of the farmers' agitation, the movement of vehicles was stopped on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway at 7:30 am on Tuesday. The expressway was completely shut down as the protesting farmers blocked all their carriageways. The Delhi Traffic Police, using Twitter, gave the public an update at around 7:37 pm that the carriageway on the Ghazipur-Ghaziabad border would remain closed.

 

Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Jasmeet Singh also confirmed the blockade by the protesting farmers on the border. The sudden blockade on the expressway has prompted the Delhi and Uttar Pradesh Police to divert traffic to alternate boundaries like Anand Vihar, Bhopura, and Apsara. Since this time is important for office goers, traffic problems can arise during this time.

 

 

 

Officials of the Uttar Pradesh administration and Delhi Police are discussing with the protesting farmers to reopen at least one carriageway. Farmers protesting at the UP Gate border have taken over the carriageway and service road of the expressway leading from Ghaziabad to Delhi since starting their agitation last month.

 

This is the second time since Monday afternoon that the expressway has been completely blocked by farmers, with farmers alleging that many farmers in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand were barred from moving beyond Delhi's borders and joining the agitation I went. The UP administration officials assured the farmers that no one would be stopped from going towards the borders on Monday.

 

The Sindhu and Tikri border, where thousands of farmers are protesting, are still closed while a carriageway is open at the Chilla (Delhi-Noida Link Road) border for vehicles entering Delhi to Noida. Motorists going to Noida are being sent to other borders like DND, Kalindi Kunj, New Ashok Nagar, Kondli, and Dallupura.
