Delhi Traffic Alert | Delhi Traffic Police Issues Advisory For Feb 13 Farmers' March, See Details

In anticipation of the farmers' 'Chalo Delhi' march scheduled for February 13, a traffic advisory was issued by the Delhi Police on Sunday, alerting commuters about restrictions on the movement of vehicles at three borders of the national capital.

The march, called for by several farmer associations, mostly from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab, is aimed at demanding a law guaranteeing MSP for their produce, one of the conditions they had set when their agitation was agreed to be withdrawn in 2021.
