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.
