New Delhi: Owing to massive protests on Monday in Noida and Greater Noida, traffic movement was severely affected across the city. Protests by hundreds of workers over salary hike issues led to widespread congestion, especially in Sector 62 and nearby areas. Entry into Noida from the Akshardham side was also blocked due to the agitation, further worsening the situation for those travelling from Delhi. Major routes connecting Sector 62 to Sector 16 and NH-9 were blocked by protesters, resulting in long traffic snarls and delays for commuters.
Chilla Border Closed
After the Chilla Border, heavy traffic congestion was reported on the Delhi-Noida DND Flyway. The Chilla Border is a key link between Delhi and Noida, which was closed following a violent protest in Noida’s Phase 2.
The unrest, led by employees of a company demanding salary hikes, saw incidents of stone pelting and damage to vehicles and property. The closure of the route led to major traffic disruptions, with long queues of vehicles building up on the DND stretch.
