Noida: Farmers against the central government’s three new farm laws blocked the Noida to Delhi traffic on the Mayur Vihar-Noida link road at the Chilla border once again on Wednesday morning this time protesting the detention of their supporters across Uttar Pradesh.
Noida Police routed the traffic via the DND flyway instead.
The increased number of vehicles on this route had led to traffic congestion, said police.
The Chilla border was first closed on December 1 in response to the nationwide protests called against the new laws.
At the time, scores of farmers were proceeding to Delhi to mark their protest when Delhi Police stopped them.
After negotiations between the police and protesters’ leaders, the road was re-opened on December 13.
The farmers, however, continued their protest without blocking the road.
However, at 11 am on Wednesday, the Bhanu faction of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) moved in.
