Ghazipur border was reopened for traffic today after remaining closed for more than a year due to the farmers’ stir.
According to some officials, one of the carriageways at the border has been reopened for now and those coming from Vaishali, Ghaziabad can pass through the border to enter Delhi.
Wednesday, the Delhi Police had allowed traffic movement and opened two carriageways at Singhu border after it dismantled all the barricades that were erected to prevent the protesting farmers from moving towards the national capital.
“It has been decided that Singhu border be opened from Delhi side also. It has been opened for all vehicles,” Deputy Commissioner of Police Brijesh Yadav said.
The Singhu Border on the Delhi-Chandigarh highway had been the epicentre of the farmers’ movement against the three central farm laws.
Farmers started leaving the protest site on the Delhi-Haryana border on Saturday after the SKM suspended the agitation following the repeal of the farm laws and the government conceding to its other demands.
Besides, the Singhu border, farmers, mainly from Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, had laid siege to Tikri and Ghazipur borders in Delhi on November 26, 2020. The roads have already been cleared for commuters at the Tikri border and traffic is plying on the stretch, police had said.
