3. Minto Road
4. Kamala Mkt. to Hamdard Chowk
5. Ajmeri Gate
6. Bhavbhuti Marg
7. Chaman Lal Marg
8. Paharganj Chowk
The police said the restrictions would be placed from 9 am Monday as most farmers were expected to reach Delhi by Sunday night or Monday morning.
The police said commuters must avoid the restricted points or stretches as thousands of farmers would march on the streets. Also, commuters going to New Delhi railway station, Old Delhi railway station, Nizamuddin railway station and inter-state bus terminals should leave with “sufficient time” at hand. Parking is only allowed at designated parking lots, the police added.
An officer said, “In case any unusual/unidentified object or person is noticed in suspicious circumstances, information should be given to the police.”
The SKM leadership demands the dismissal of the Centre’s current minimum support price (MSP) committee and forming a new panel with farmer representatives. It also calls for the withdrawal of the Electricity Amendment Bill, 2022.
