Farmers from Punjab and Haryana on Monday took out a tractor march
Farmers Protest 2024, Tractor March Today: Farmers from Punjab and Haryana on Monday took out a tractor march near the Yamuna Expressway in Uttar Pradesh's Gautam Buddh Nagar district as a mark of protest against the Centre for accepting their demands, that include a law guaranteeing a minimum support price (MSP), implementation of the Swaminathan Commission’s recommendations, pensions for farmers and farm labourers, and farm debt waiver. Besides, they also believe that the Centre should provide “justice” for victims of the Lakhimpur Kheri violence.
Noida police have issued a traffic advisory in anticipation of this event. The Delhi Police and Gautam Buddha Nagar Police, it said, will conduct thorough checks, erecting barriers along all borders from Gautam Buddha Nagar to Delhi.
This will likely heighten traffic on routes from Gautam Buddha Nagar to Delhi border and Yamuna Expressway, including Luharli Toll Plaza. Emergency situations will prompt traffic diversions as necessary. To mitigate congestion, commuters heading to Delhi are encouraged to utilize metro services.
Restrictions on various types of goods vehicles will be enforced along specific routes, such as from Yamuna Expressway to Delhi via Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and from Sirsa to Surajpur via Parichowk.
Visuals showed multiple tractors being driven on the road. Police blocked the farmers' tractor march at the Yamuna Expressway's entry point. They were not allowed to do their rally on the expressway.
