In a related development, a large number of farmers staged protests outside the offices of Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries at Bandra-Kurla Complex in Mumbai on Tuesday afternoon.
AIKS spokesperson PS Prasad said that over 2,000 farmers started in vehicles from Nashik on Monday evening, and more than 1,000 joined them in Malegaon during the day as they were proceeding to the state borders from Dhule.
Protesting farmers blocked the Ghazipur entry point on the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border with tractors on Tuesday. Traffic moving from Delhi towards Ghazipur and Ghaziabad and vice versa on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway was affected as both carriageways were closed.
Farmers have also blocked the Chilla point on the Delhi-UP border, disrupting the flow of traffic from Noida and Ghaziabad to Delhi. Commuters have been advised to take alternate routes for proceeding towards Delhi via Anand Vihar, DND, Apsara, and Bhopra borders.
