Farmers’ rally paralyses Delhi-Noida traffic, DND shut

“Due to the rally/protest by farmers, the DND road between Noida and Delhi has been shut,” the Delhi Traffic Police tweeted at 5 pm.

Earlier in the day, it issued an advisory stating traffic movement on NH-24, Kalindi Kunj, Sarita Vihar, Mathura Road, and from DND to Ashram was likely to be impacted due to the rally.

The Noida Traffic Police said there could be diversions made on the route as per requirements.

“People are advised to use alternate roads via Mayur Vihar and Kalindi Kunj for movement between Noida and Delhi to avoid inconvenience,” it had said in the advisory.

Vehicular movement on the crucial route had come to a crawl this evening, with several commuters sharing their agony on social media.

“Coming back to Delhi from Noida? Avoid roads. Take the metro. The traffic is insane. 2 hours for a 35 min route. And I have still not reached,” said a Twitter user.
