Huge Jam at Delhi-Noida border as cops prepare for Big Farmers' Protests

Traffic has been severely hit in some parts of Delhi and surrounding areas ahead of the farmers march to the national capital to protest against land acquisition polices. The farmer groups have called for a 'kisan mahapanchayat' on Wednesday and a protest march to Parliament in Delhi on Thursday to protest for their demands. 

Several two-wheelers were struck in the jam at Sarita Vihar, and there was also a heavy traffic jam reported on the Delhi to Noida route. 

Visuals show long traffic jams at the Delhi-Noida expressway amid police barricades set up to check every vehicle entering the national capital.
