New Delhi: Massive traffic jams are witnessed at Delhi borders due to farmers protest and daily commuters between Delhi, Noida and Gurugram faced trouble time to reach office on time. For the security of the commuters and also to prevent any untoward situation, Delhi Police, along with Police in Gurugrama and Noida, have made elaborate arrangements at the borers to stop farmers from entering the national capital. The tight security by the police has led to traffic chaos at places like Ghazipur, Gurugram and Singhu borders. In this regard, police have also issued traffic advisory offering alternate routes for commuters.
A commuter stuck in the traffic on the DND flyover said that it took nearly an hour to cover one kilometre. Another commuter added that the traffic is standing still for the past 20 minutes and the road seems blocked ahead and there’s no u-turn also.
