Traffic has been affected in some parts of the National Capital Region on Wednesday as Gujjars blocked roads in support of the agitation launched by the community seeking Scheduled Tribe status. Vehicular movement was affected on the Mehrauli-Gurgaon & GT-Karnal stretches as protesters put blockades on roads. Gujjar agitators blocked an arterial road in Gurgaon by burning tyres & causing a major traffic jam.

The protesters also erected tents on Mehrauli-Gurgaon road ahead of Thursday’s “rasta roko” agitation in the National Capital Region. This led to traffic disruptions but the protesters dispersed after police intervened. Over 10,000 police personnel have already been deployed across the Capital, especially in Gujjar strongholds like Mehrauli, Ghazipur, Patparganj, Badarpur, Khanpur, Ayanagar, Chilla village & Rampur anticipating strong showing by the community during the agitation.
