New Delhi: The Delhi-Noida border is once again braces for massive traffic jams as farmers mulls to hold a tractor march to the national capital on Monday. Two more groups of farmers under the banner of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) Tikait and BKU LokShakti said they hit the road in Noida towards Delhi this week to demand a law guaranteeing minimum support price (MSP).
The Noida Traffic Police late on Monday issued a traffic advisory in view of the farmers’ tractor march, saying vehicular movement will be affected in the city and borders with Delhi. The move comes after two other farmers groups — the Bhartiya Kisan Parishad and All India Kisan Sabha – protested in the city at NTPC Noida and in front of the Greater Noida Authority office, reported sources.

For commuters using Yamuna Expressway, the advisory suggests using alternative routes and opting for the metro to minimise inconvenience. Goods vehicles on specific routes will face restrictions, and drivers are advised to consider alternative paths to reach their destinations.
The Delhi Police and Gautam Buddha Nagar Police prepared a number of pickets and checkpoints to maintain law and order. They said vehicular movement might be affected, asking commuters to plan accordingly.
Thousands of farmers seeking to march to the national capital remain camped at Khanauri and Shambhu borders between Punjab and Haryana agitating for their demands, including a legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP) for crops and farm debt waiver.
The advisory said there could be heightened traffic on routes from Gautam Buddha Nagar to the Delhi border and Yamuna Expressway, including Luharli Toll Plaza and Pari Chowk.
The traffic could be disrupted due to the deployment of pickets and checking at the Jheel Khurd Border, Mandi Border, Aaya Nagar Border, DND Flyway, Kalindi Kunj, Badarpur, Palla, Surajkund and Karni Singh shooting range, the advisory said.
