Noida: Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) members have blocked the Delhi-Noida border near Sector 14A in protest against the farms bill passed by Parliament nearly a week ago.
Farmers from different villages gathered to march to Delhi as part of a nationwide protest but they were stopped on the way by the police.
Farmers, in tractors and cars, reached Noida Gate near Mayur Vihar around 11.45am.
Delhi Police personnel have been deployed on the Delhi side of the border.
They set up barricades to stop farmers’ entry into Delhi.
On the Noida side of the border, farmers parked several tractors and cars at the Noida entry gate, completely halting vehicular movement from both sides.
The farmers sat down and started addressing the gathering about the farm bills.
BKU’s national Capital region president Subhash Chaudhary said that the government has abolished mandis and opened avenues for the corporates to directly access farmers’ produce through these bills.
