Farmers' Protest: Delhi Police Issue New Traffic Advisory; Check Alternative Routes

As the farmers’ ‘Delhi Chalo’ protest continues to move towards the national capital on Wednesday, traffic restrictions also continue to remain in place in Delhi-NCR areas.

Security has also been further beefed at many of the locations in Delhi and its connecting borders. Rapid Action Force personnel along with police teams and Riot Control Vehicle are deployed at the Singhu border to ensure maintenance of law and order situation.

Massive traffic snarls were also seen at the Ghazipur border, where security was further tightened on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, multi-layer barricades, concrete blocks, pickets, iron nails and walls of containers have been placed at Tikri, Singhu and Ghazipur borders. During the early hours of Wednesday, authorities got more concrete poured between the concrete slabs at the Tikri Border to make the arrangements stronger for day-2.
