Commuters between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh faced a tough time as some roads were blocked for traffic due to a farmers' march on Tuesday.
The protest has been called by the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) over demands ranging from farm loan waiver to cut in fuel prices.
Traffic congestion was reported on the DND (Delhi Noida Direct) flyover, Apsara border, GT Road, Vikas Marg which are used by motorists for commuting between Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad, police said.
The police, however, said the situation was under control since it was a holiday on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. "We did not receive many inputs about traffic congestion," said an officer.
The Delhi Traffic Police had also issued an advisory, asking motorists to avoid the Meerut Expressway. "In view of the large-scale gathering of protesters on the Ghazipur border, the motorists going towards Ghaziabad, Hapur, Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Roorkee, Haridwar are advised to avoid the Meerut Expressway (Ghazipur Border) and take alternative routes as per their convenience."
