Border Seals In Noida, Haryana Readies Barriers

As farmers plan Delhi march…

New Delhi: On Thursday, 08 February 2024, Massive traffic jams started on Delhi-Noida borders as security personnel searched vehicles given a protest call by farmers in Noida and Greater Noida.

Besides cops, personnel from Rapid Action Force have also been called in to keep the situation under control. Riot control vehicles are on the spot and drones are being used to get an all-round view.

Three years after their protest on Delhi's borders, farmers are gearing up for another round of agitation in Delhi over a host of issues.

Police in neighbouring Haryana and Uttar Pradesh have made arrangements to block separate groups of protesting farmers. Cement barriers, sandbags, and barbed wires are in place and prohibitory orders are imposed to ensure farmers can't enter the National Capital.

Two separate protests are on the cards. One of them starts today and comprises farmers from Noida and Greater Noida.

These farmers are protesting in demand of higher compensation and developed plots against their land acquired by the local development authorities.

They have decided to march to Parliament to press their demands.
