A massive traffic jam was witnessed at the Ghazipur border on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway on Wednesday morning as Congress workers gathered there defying heavy barricading ahead of Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh.
The Uttar Pradesh Police has put up barricades and started checking vehicles to prevent any untoward incident. With the carriageway from Delhi to Uttar Pradesh heavily congested, commuters faced a harrowing time in reaching their destinations.
Members of the Congress’ youth wing raised slogans and waved the party flag as the police stopped Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi at the Ghazipur border here citing prohibitory orders.
“We have input about the gathering on the highway. We have deployed security personnel to prevent any untoward incident,” Assistant Commissioner of Police Swatantra Kumar Singh told PTI videos.
