A traffic advisory alerting commuters to potential disruptions at the city’s borders has been released by the Delhi Police. The notice, sent on Thursday, states that pickets and roadblocks erected by farmers in protest are likely to impede vehicular traffic.
Thousands of farmers are still tented at key areas like the Shambhu border between Punjab and Haryana and Khanauri, continuing their march towards the nation’s capital. The farmers are pushing for several things, such as the cancellation of agricultural debt and a legal guarantee for the minimum support price (MSP) for crops.
Several important locations, such as the Jheel Khurd Border, Mandi Border, Aaya Nagar Border, DND Flyway, Kalindi Kunj, Badarpur, Palla, Surajkund, and Karni Singh shooting range, are listed as experiencing interruptions in the traffic alert. To minimise inconvenience, commuters are advised to plan their journeys appropriately.
The Delhi Police are taking preventative measures to uphold law and order in the wake of the current protest by setting up pickets and checkpoints. Traffic delays are likely to result from these security measures, especially in the aforementioned regions. The advice gives commuters and locals a vital heads-up by encouraging them to think about alternate routes and adjust their travel plans appropriately.
Protesters have been forcefully pushing for their demands during the protracted and controversial farmers’ demonstration. The state of affairs is still fluid, and government actions are being taken to guarantee the protection and safety of every citizen while permitting nonviolent protests.
The Delhi Police is appealing for understanding during this difficult time and stressing the need for public cooperation as the farmers and the government continue their standoff. The public will be given regular updates and up-to-date information to help them plan their travels effectively and negotiate the changing circumstances.
