On Thursday, commuters heading from Delhi to Noida found themselves in a nightmarish situation as they encountered extensive traffic congestion along the route. The gridlock stemmed from imposed restrictions at the Delhi-Noida border due to ongoing protests by farmers, who were planning a march to Parliament to assert their demands. The resultant traffic snarl left hundreds of vehicles stranded at the border during the Thursday morning rush hour. Reports indicated a significant buildup of two-wheelers and four-wheelers trapped in the jam, particularly at Sarita Vihar, with heavy congestion also observed along the Delhi-to-Noida route.

00:00 On Thursday, commuters heading from Delhi to Noida found themselves in a nightmarish
00:11 situation as they encountered extensive traffic congestion along the route.
00:16 The gridlock stemmed from imposed restrictions at the Delhi-Noida border due to the ongoing
00:21 protests by farmers who were planning a march to the parliament to assert their demands.
00:25 The resulting traffic snarl left hundreds of vehicles stranded at the border during
00:30 Thursday morning rush hour.
00:31 Reports indicated a significant build-up of two-wheelers and four-wheelers trapped in
00:35 the jam, particularly at Sarita-Vihar, with heavy congestion also observed along the Delhi-Noida
00:40 route.
00:41 The farmer groups have called for a Kisan Mahapanchayat on Wednesday and a protest march
00:45 to the parliament in the national capital on Thursday to press for their demands.
00:49 However, Delhi police have denied permission for the farmers to enter the city, leading
00:52 to heightened security measures at Delhi borders.
00:56 Noida police have issued a traffic advisory, cautioning commuters about diversions on select
01:00 routes in Noida and Greater Noida.
01:02 The diversions are currently in place in Dadri, Tilapetta, Surajpur, Sirsa, Rampur, Fatehpur
01:07 and other routes of Greater Noida.
01:10 Farmer groups in Noida and Greater Noida have been protesting since December 2023 with demands
01:15 for height compensation and developed plots against the land acquired by the local development
01:19 authorities in the past.
01:21 Expecting traffic cures, the Delhi Police Commissionerate has also issued an advisory
01:25 outlining restrictions on the Yamuna Expressway and Noida-Greater Noida Expressway for the
01:30 smooth conduct of the farmers' protest programme.
01:32 The restrictions are in effect from 7 am to 10.30 pm today.
01:36 Three years after the landmark protest on Delhi's borders, farmers are preparing for
01:40 another round of demonstrations in the national capital, this time over a range of pressing
01:44 issues.
01:45 Two distinct protests are set to unfold.
01:47 One commencing today, led by farmers from Noida and Greater Noida, who have been advocating
01:52 for increased compensation and the allocation of developed plots for months following the
01:57 acquisition of their land by local development authorities.
02:00 Their determination to march to the Parliament underscores their resolve to push for their
02:03 demands.
02:04 Simultaneously, farmers from Haryana and Punjab are gearing up for a tractor march scheduled
02:09 for Tuesday.
02:10 Their demands include the enactment of legislation to ensure a minimum support price for crops,
02:15 pension provisions for farmers, comprehensive crop insurance and the dismissal of FIRs lodged
02:20 against farmers during the 2020 protests.
02:23 With tensions escalating, Haryana police have requested support from central forces to fortify
02:27 their borders with Punjab and impede the progress of farmers' march.
