NEW DELHI: Delhi Police have made elaborate security arrangements as farmers decided to camp at the Singhu border (Delhi-Haryana) to protest against the central farm laws.

Security has been tightened and barricading was done at Ghazipur-Ghaziabad (Delhi-UP) border where farmers have gathered in protest farm laws. Farmers have been protesting at various places in Delhi and Haryana and have rejected the central government`s offer to hold talks on December 3 saying that imposing conditions for starting a dialogue is an insult to them.

Meanwhile, Delhi Police on Monday advised people to avoid travelling towards Singhu and Tikri borders as traffic movement was not allowed on these routes. 

“Singhu Border is still closed from both sides. Please take alternate route.Traffic has been diverted from Mukarba Chowk and GTK road. Traffic is very very heavy. Please avoid outer ring road from signature bridge to Rohini and vice-e-versa, GTK road, NH 44 and Singhu borders,” Delhi Traffic Police tweeted. 

In another tweet, it said Tikri border is also closed for traffic movement and Jharoda, Dhansa, Daurala Jhatikera, Badusari, Kapashera, Rajokri NH 8, Bijwasan/Bajghera, Palam vihar and Dundahera borders were open and available to Haryana.
