Long queues of vehicles were witnessed in parts of the national capital on Tuesday as the Delhi Police has closed the Singhu and Tikri borders with Haryana for heightened checking at other places in view of the ongoing farmers’ protest, reported PTI.

“Singhu Border is still closed from both sides. Please take alternate route. Traffic has been diverted from Mukarba Chowk & GTK road. Traffic is very very heavy. Please avoid outer ring road from Signature Bridge to Rohini & vice versa, GTK road, NH 44 & Singhu border,” the Delhi Traffic Police tweeted.

“Tikri border is closed for any Traffic Movement. Badusarai and Jhatikara borders are open only for two wheeler traffic. Available open borders to Haryana are Jharoda, Dhansa, Daurala, Kapashera, Rajokri NH 8, Bijwasan/Bajghera, Palam Vihar and Dundahera,” it said in another tweet.

More protesters converged near the borders of the national capital as the stir by farmers against the agri laws appeared to intensify, prompting the Delhi Police to enhance security and place concrete barriers at all entry points from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.

Farmers, mostly from Punjab, are protesting against Centre’s farm laws and are demanding the government to roll back the laws.
