Farmers’ Protest: Delhi Traffic Police Asks Commuters to Take Alternate Entry, Exit Routes For Haryana | Earth Indian

New Delhi: The Delhi Traffic Police on Monday advised commuters to take alternate routes to enter and exit Haryana, amid the ongoing protests by farmers at Singhu and Tikri borders.

Both the border points at Singhu and Tikri are closed as the farmers have rejected the Centre’s offer to hold talks over the farm laws opposed by them.

The Delhi Traffic Police tweeted, “Singhu Border is still closed from both sides. Please take alternate route. Traffic has been diverted from Mukarba Chowk & GTK road. Traffic is very very heavy. Please avoid outer ring road from signature bridge to Rohini & vice versa, GTK road, NH 44 & Singhu borders.”

The closure of borders has also resulted in heavy traffic on other alternate routes between Delhi and Haryana.

The agitating farmers demanding scrapping of the newly enacted farm laws have also warned to close all five entry points to the national capital.

After a meeting of over 30 farmer groups on Sunday, their representatives said they will not move to the Burari ground for their protest as suggested by the Centre.

They said the farmers will not accept any conditional dialogue and will block all five entry points to Delhi.
