Carriageway on road connecting Delhi to Haryana opened after 11 months

After a gap of almost 11 months, authorities on Saturday opened one carriageway of the road from Delhi to Haryana by removing the barricades at the Tikri border, where thousands were agitating against the three agri laws.

The carriageway was opened following meetings between farm union leaders and the police.
The Delhi Police on Thursday evening started removing the barricades and concertina wires it had put at Tikri Border on the Delhi-Rohtak highway.
The police had also removed similar blockades on one of the carriageways of the Delhi-Meerut Expressway at Ghazipur border on Friday. However, traffic on the stretch has not yet started.
The opening of the road stretch at the Tikri border would help thousands of commuters of Bahadurgarh and Delhi as well as those travelling between the national capital and going to Rajasthan from Haryana.
While the police removed a large portion of the barricades, wirings and iron nails from NH-9 (the Delhi-Meerut Expressway flyover) at Ghazipur border by Friday evening, the tents and other temporary structures erected by the protesters continued to remain there.
