Massive traffic jams have been reported at Delhi’s border that connects Noida and Ghaziabad amidst farmers’ ‘mahapanchayat’ on Monday as they started arriving at Jantar mantar.
To avoid any untoward situation, Delhi Police have tightened the security and put up barricades all over especially at the border area leading to serpentine queues of vehicles.
Traffic snarls were reported at the Ghaziabad, Chilla, Singhu, Faridabad and Tikri borders as almost every vehicle entering the national capital city are being checked.

The other important roads that can see heavy traffic are Sansad Marg Janpath, Outer Circle Connaught Place, Ashoka Road and Baba Kharak Singh Marg.
The call for the mahapanchayat was given by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) to protest against unemployment at the Jantar Mantar.
The farmers from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and many other states are likely to give a memorandum to the President pressing for their demands.
