New Delhi, Aug 22 (PTI) Thousands of farmers from various states gathered at the Jantar Mantar here on Monday to take part in a “mahapanchayat” called by a farmers’ body, causing massive traffic snarls in Delhi, especially at the city’s borders, including Singhu and Ghazipur.
As the farmers associated with different unions reached Delhi, police put up layers of barricades at all the entry points of the city and checked every vehicle entering the national capital, which led to huge traffic jams.
Apart from the borders, including Ghazipur, Singhu and Tikri, key stretches on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, the Palam flyover, Aurobindo Marg, Ring Road (near Indraprastha Park), the Ghaziabad-Wazirabad road, and the Munirka road, among other roads, witnessed traffic snarls.
