Delhi Police Advisory: Farmers’ protest triggers traffic scare, Delhi police issues advisory: Routes to avoid |

With the farmers’ ‘Delhi Chalo’ march headed to the capital, heavy traffic congestion occurred at the entry and exit points of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh as law enforcement and paramilitary forces, equipped with anti-riot gear, set up numerous layers of barricades, concrete blocks, iron nails, and container walls. To counter the anticipated traffic scare, the Delhi Police issued a traffic advisory, notifying commuters about vehicular movement restrictions at three borders of the national capital.
Farmers’ protest: Why is it happening?
Several farmer associations, mostly from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab, have announced a march scheduled for February 13. Their primary demand is the enactment of a law ensuring Minimum Support Price (MSP) for their agricultural produce.
