Why Traffic Restrictions Imposed?

The traffic restrictions were imposed as the farmers hold a protest march to Parliament on Thursday, which will likely affect traffic on the Noida Expressway and the borders with Delhi.

These farmers under the banners of Sanyukt Kisan Morcha and Akhil Bhartiya Kisan Sabha gathered outside the NTCP office in Noida Sector 24 and the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority’s office demanding 10% of abadi land.

As part of their protest, over 4,000 farmers are likely to gather at the Harola community centre in Sector 5 on Thursday noon and march towards Sandeep Paper Mill in Sector 5 before heading towards Udyog Marg to reach the Sector 15 roundabout and the Delhi border.

These farmers will join the protest in tractors, which could have a bigger impact on traffic, both along the route they propose to take and the expressway, where police are likely to put up barricades.
