Update (August 2, 1:39 pm): The route between Delhi and Faridabad has been blocked by workers of Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad on Wednesday as they staged a protest over the communal clashes in Haryana’s Nuh. Earlier today, both the groups protested near Delhi’s Nirman Vihar metro station due to which the Vikas Marg was blocked.


The heat of Haryana’s Nuh violence which has killed six after the communal clashes has now reached the national capital on Wednesday. Members of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal are holding a protest at Delhi‘s Ghonda Chowk against Nuh violence that took place two days back.

However, Delhi police have beefed up security in the wake of violence. Barricades are in place to control the crowd. It is to be noted here that the death toll in the communal clashes in Haryana’s Nuh has reached 6 after mobs killed a cleric in a late-night attack on a mosque on Tuesday.

Delhi traffic police have shared an advisory for commuters through Twitter. The tweet reads, “Due to protest at Red Light, Nirman Vihar Metro Stn. Today from 8 AM onwards, Vikas Marg to be completely blocked. Commuters coming from Ghaziabad or by Delhi-Meerut E-way & going towards ITO to take NH-24.
