Watch: Massive traffic jam on Delhi-Noida border amid farmers' protest

As farmers from Uttar Pradesh announced a protest march to the Parliament on Thursday morning, a massive traffic jam on the Delhi-Noida border arose amid the farmers' protest. The farmers' demands, in response to the land that has been acquired for city development over the last 4 decades, include increased land compensation and improved rehabilitation facilities for their families. The Noida Police had earlier released a warning to reduce gridlock on the routes.
