 "Farmers' protest")
Huge traffic jams are seen on the highways connecting Delhi and Noida, via the Ghazipur and Chilla borders. Many people are taking the Ghazipur border road to enter the national capital from Noida.
To ensure smooth traffic flow in Delhi amid the 'Delhi Chalo' March by the farmers, authorities have implemented strict restrictions on traffic movement and tightened securities in the Singhu, Ghazipur and Tikri borders.
The government is geared up and multiple layers of barricades have been set up, including barbed wires, and substantial nails to curb the repeat of the 2020-21 protests.
Over 200 farmers’ unions from Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh are marching towards the national capital on Tuesday.

Why farmers are protesting today
Farmers are all set to begin their protest on Tuesday as the meeting between farm leaders and Union Ministers didn't give any fruitful results.
Several tractor-trolleys set out on Monday from different parts of Punjab to join the protest.
According to government representatives who met the farmer leaders said that a consensus was reached on most of the issues and a formula was proposed to resolve other matters after forming a committee.
