New Delhi: In view of farmers' protest held by Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) to mark the one year of enactment of Agricultural laws, the Delhi Traffic Police have closed several roads and borders and diverted routes.
The Delhi Traffic Police on Friday shut the access to the multiple roads leading to the Delhi border using barricades and asked commuters to avoid routs including Jharoda Kalan area, Gurdwara Rakabganj Road, RML Hospital, G Traffic on PO, Ashoka Road and Baba Kharak Singh Marg.
Police asked Delhiites to refrain from using these routes and said that officials have been directed to enhance patrolling in the area.
"Jharoda Kalan border roads have been closed on both sides due to the farmers' movement, please refrain from using this route," the traffic police tweeted in Hindi.
The officials further informed that the traffic coming from Gurugaon to Sardar Patel Marg and the traffic coming from Narayan to Loop have also been diverted towards Ring Road Moti Bagh.
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) is holding a 'Black Friday' protest march in Delhi on the completion of one year of enactment of the three new farm laws. The party said Gurudwara Rakab Ganj Sahib near the Parliament House have been cordoned off and all borders of Delhi have been sealed.
In a Twitter post, the party said, "Looking at the number of farmers and Akali Dal cadre coming for the protest today, Rakab Ganj Sahib is being cordoned off to stop Punjabis from entering. This is a reminder of dark dictatorial times."
The protest is reportedly being led by SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal and party MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal. The Party reportedly assured that the protest march would be peaceful.
