The effect of the fierce agitation by farmers against the central government was also seen in Uttarakhand on Monday. On the Doon-Delhi highway, farmers in Biharigarh of Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Meerut, etc. stopped the traffic by placing tractors on the road.

Due to this, the Transport Corporation buses sent from Doon to Delhi, Saharanpur, Meerut, etc. remained stuck in the jam for hours. However, no bus returned, but the problems of the passengers increased as the buses got stuck in the jam.

The General Manager of the Transport Corporation said this

The same was the situation for buses going towards Delhi from Haridwar, Roorkee, Rishikesh and Kotdwar depots. The buses reached Delhi late by hours due to jams at various places on the way, due to which the schedule of buses in Delhi got completely disturbed.

At the same time, due to the farmers' movement, the operation of buses going towards Punjab has also been significantly affected.
