India / Massive traffic jam seen at Gurugram-Delhi border amid farmers' Bharat Bandh

GURUGRAM: Gurugram-Delhi border saw a massive traffic snarl as vehicles entering the national capital are being checked by Delhi Police and paramilitary jawans, in wake of Bharat bandh called by farmer organisations on Monday.

Apart from the central forces, the Delhi Police and the Gurugram Police personnel have barricaded the border.

Due to this only two lanes from Jaipur towards Delhi were opened for commuters entering Delhi. The traffic movement on the National Highway-48 was slow and the vehicles were moving bumper to bumper.

The officials of the Gurugram traffic control room said that the traffic movement on the expressway was slow due to the barricades erected by the Delhi Police on the Delhi-Gurugram border and near the Rajokri flyover.

"Police will keep updating people about the traffic situation in Gurugram through the official social media handles," said Subhash Boken, spokesperson of the Gurugram Police.

He said that while regular traffic can pass, checks are likely to slow it down or lead to jams. "More than 1,000 police forces including senior officers have been deployed at all border points," he said.
