Delhi Traffic Police has issued a traffic advisory in view of the proposed farmer’s protest on February 13 at the borders of Delhi.
According to the police, there will be diversions around the Singhu Border (Delhi-Haryana).
“Traffic from Delhi going to Ghaziabad through the Gazipur border may take Pushta Road in front of Akshardham temple, Patparganj Road/Mother Dairy Road, or Chaudhary Charon Singh Marg ISBT Anand Vihar and exit from Maharajpur or Apsara border in UP Ghaziabad,” it added.

“Heavy/Commercial Vehicles/Trucks going towards Bahadurgarh, Rohtak, etc. via Rohtak Road are advised to use Najafgarh Nangloi Road from Nangloi Chowk to enter Haryana via Najafgarh Jharoda Border,” the advisory read. Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora arrived at the Ghazipur border to inspect security arrangements here ahead of the farmers’ call for March to Delhi. Traffic congestion was seen on GT Karnal Road as security has been tightened near the Singhu Border, ahead of the ‘Delhi-Chalo’ protest by farmers.
Meanwhile, Delhi police issued an order prohibiting the gathering of the public at all borders between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, given the protest march to the national capital called by farmers.

The police have also barred the entry of tractors, trolleys, buses, trucks, and commercial vehicles into the National Capital from Uttar Pradesh.
The order that has been enforced today will remain in force until March 11, unless withdrawn earlier, according to the official statement by Delhi police.
As per the order, no protestor would be allowed to bear arms, including firearms, swords, trishuls, spears, rods, etc.
The order was issued by the office of the Deputy Commissioner of the Police, North East District, Delhi.

The order was promoted after Delhi police said they received information that some farmer organisations had given a call to their supporters to gather in the National Capital on February 13.
