Chaos as farm stir reaches Delhi doorstep

The farmers, rallying under the banner of various unions, were demanding a legal guarantee for minimum support prices (MSP) on crops, along with other issues such as loan waivers, pensions for farmers and labourers, and justice for victims of the 2021 Lakhimpur-Kheri violence.

The march was part of their planned "Dilli Chalo" protest, with participants beginning their journey from Greater Noida in the morning. The protest caused massive disruptions, with traffic congestion lasting until the evening.

Key roads, including the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, DND Flyway, and arterial routes near Mayur Vihar, New Ashok Nagar, and Okhla, were severely impacted. Police diversions rerouted vehicles through Kalindi Kunj and Noida's internal roads, resulting in gridlock in Sectors 15, 16, and 18, and a 7km tailback on the expressway.
