Farmers protesting on the Noida Expressway concluded their demonstration Thursday evening after assurances from police and authorities to address their demands. Since December 2023, farmers in Noida and Greater Noida have been advocating for increased compensation and developed plots for their acquired land. The protest led to heavy traffic jams on the Delhi-Noida border, prompting a 24-hour closure of all borders with extensive police deployment. Section 144 was imposed, restricting assembly and processions. Police sealed the route from Noida to Delhi, advising school buses to use alternative routes. Despite disruptions, authorities facilitated dialogue with farmers to resolve grievances.
