Delhi: Cops Start Removing Barricades At Ghazipur Border As Farmers Halt March

The Delhi police started removing barricades to resume smooth movement for commuters at the Ghazipur border after the farmers halted their march towards the national capital.

Delhi News: As the farmers halted their march towards the national capital, the Delhi Police on Tuesday began removing blocks and barricades to resume smooth movement for commuters at the Ghazipur border. "For better flow of traffic movement, we have decided to remove cemented barriers from the Ghazipur border. The process of removing barriers may take a day or two," a senior police officer said, as quoted by news agency PTI.

Some commuters said that the opening of these barriers will ease the issue of traffic congestion and allow people to reach their destination on time.

The officer further said that the deployment of police and paramilitary forces will ensure strict vigil round the clock. Force deployment will stay in place. Earlier, the Delhi Police had removed cement barriers for commuters at the Tikri and Singhu borders on February 25.

"The relaxations have also been given to the commuters at the other two borders, Singhu and Tikri. At Singhu, the concrete barricades that were put up at the side lanes of the flyover connecting Delhi-Haryana have been removed. The barricades on the flyover, however, are still there," said the police officer, as quoted by PTI.

He further stated that most of the Tikri border has been opened with the removal of the concrete barricades, but the iron barricades are still placed on the roadside. An officer stated that the local police are still keeping an eye on the borders.

Last month, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (non-political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha called the 'Delhi Chalo' march, after which the protesting farmers and Haryana Police personnel clashed at the Punjab-Haryana border. The Delhi Police sealed the Tikri, Singhu, and Ghazipur borders with heavy deployment of police personnel and multi-layered barricades of concrete and iron nails on February 13.
